Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vim

After the first invocation of the GTK2-filechooser dialog, GTK's list of
recently used files (~/.recently-used.xbel) gets written on events such
as every single keypress, mouseclick etc. This causes considerable I/O
activity and, when .recently-used.xbel is reasonably large, also a
considerable slowdown of vim.

This affects the GTK2 flavor of vim as this bug is obviously specific to
GTK2. This occurs at least under Ubuntu 7.10 (vim-
gnome_7.1-056+2ubuntu2), 8.04 (vim-gnome_7.1-138+1ubuntu3), Debian
unstable (see linked Debian Bug), and Fedora 9
(vim-X11-7.1.291-1.fc9.i386), but not under Ubuntu 7.04 (vim-
gnome_7.0-164+1ubuntu7.2) and RHEL/CentOS 5.2
(vim-x11-7.0.109-3.el5.3.i386).
