The reason that it's doing this is the creation of two
GtkFileSelection dialogues on startup, which are presumably doing a
directory scan behind the scenes. These are used for print-to-file
and PPD selection. See file_browser and ppd_browser in
src/gutenprintui2/panel.c.
This was probably done for performance reasons (they are reused rather
than recreated), and also due to the poor structure of the code. This
won't be fixable for version 5.0, because the UI code is an
inpenetrable mess (due to needing to keep compatibility with
GTK+-1.2), which I expect to rework significantly in the next
development series as soon as we ditch GTK+-1.2 compatibility.
Regards,
Roger
