Hi, I have been trying to pin down the cause of my copy of Evolution 2.12.0 on SuSE 10.2 hanging occasionally by running strace evolution from the command line which prints its system calls. I noticed that it does repeated searches of various directories for icons etc - most of which fail. Surely it should do it once at startup then remember which icon files to use instead of doing lots of unnecessary reads as shown below?
