Slow Open/Save Dialogs in GTK

Posted on 7:35 PM by Unknown
I've been running Jaunty (beta and RC's) for several weeks. A couple of weeks ago the open and save dialogs began loading VERY slowly. I've been researching this particular issue and have come across some interesting issues related to the 'tracker' package and corrupted tracker databases. To remedy, I have uninstalled tracker via

sudo apt-get remove tracker --purge

and whacked my local tracker database via

rm -rf ~/.local/share/tracker


This seems to have helped some. It'd be nice if part of the install scripts of this package would remove and rebuild the tracker cache so this crap doesn't happen.
