This just started happening to me in Ubuntu jaunty; when bringing up a dialog 
in various Gnome apps, there is a twenty-five second delay before it appears, 
during which time the app appears to be frozen.  I'm not sure if it affects 
every application, but I see it in various situations:
  * bringing up the preferences dialog in Transmission
  * bringing up a load or save file dialog in gedit
  * bringing up a file dialog in GIMP
  * bringing up a file dialog in Firefox
  * etc

If I do an strace of the process, the delay appears to be in waiting for
a poll() to time out immediately after a write that looks tracker-
related.  I'll attach a snippet of an strace log of Transmission after I
try to open the preferences dialog -- you can clearly see the 25-second
delay on lines 40-41.

Is there any additional information I can gather that would help figure
out what's causing this?
