From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.3 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020523 Description of problem: For quite some time I've been seeing several messages in my /var/log/messages file about the inability to automount various directories such as /home/dir.png, /home/galeon.glade, /home/CloseTab.png, etc. An strace shows that galeon is searching the '..' directory which is unusual at best, problematic at worst (large site using automounter with several galeon users could hit an nfs server unnecessarily hard). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type 'strace galeon 2>&1 | grep dir.png' at the command line 2. Note the unusual places the dir.png file is searched for 3. Actual Results: stat64("ISO-8859-1/dir.png", 0xbffff740) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)stat64("/home/rids/.galeon/dir.png", 0xbffff6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("dir.png", 0xbffff6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("../dir.png", 0xbffff6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("ui/dir.png", 0xbffff6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("../ui/dir.png", 0xbffff6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/share/galeon/dir.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=349, ...}) = 0 stat64("/usr/share/galeon/dir.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=349, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/share/galeon/dir.png", O_RDONLY) = 12 Expected Results: Perhaps: ======== stat64("ISO-8859-1/dir.png", 0xbffff740) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)stat64("/home/rids/.galeon/dir.png", 0xbffff6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/share/galeon/dir.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=349, ...}) = 0 stat64("/usr/share/galeon/dir.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=349, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/share/galeon/dir.png", O_RDONLY) = 12 Additional info: Not really sure which directories *should* be searched, but the only essential ones I can see are $HOME/.galeon and /usr/share/galeon. '..,' 'ui,' '../ui,' and the current directory all seem rather odd. This is definitely a problem which should be fixed. At a minimum, the parent directory should never be searched as it will almost always be /home and not contain the relevant files, plus the fact that it causes several unnecessary filesystem mounts when the automounter is in use.
Is it causing problems? If it's not, then I'm not going to worry about it.
