JuliusBloch,
Doesn't look like network related (as could be guessed from /etc/hosts
not changing start up time). Gcalctool seems to be doing something weird
with the fonts, first 27000 lines of the strace log are mostly stuff
like
stat64("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-arabeyes/ae_AlYermook.ttf",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=121972, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-arabeyes/ae_AlYermook.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 15
fcntl64(15, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fstat64(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=121972, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 121972, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 15, 0) = 0xb600f000
close(15) = 0
munmap(0xb600f000, 121972) = 0
So it opens a font file, mmaps it, then closes and munmaps, presumably
doing something with the font data in between. And it does that a lot.
Grepping for "stat.*usr.*fonts" gives 2823 hits, and the font stuff
takes most of the time in strace log. I straced galctool myself and the
same grep gave only 39 hits and starts in under one second. I have no
idea why it's doing that with the fonts in your case, maybe someone with
more knowledge of gnome font handling has some idea... It's a separate
bug to this /etc/hosts case anyway.
