Description Jeffrey 2013-02-20 17:56:11 UTC
Gwenview 2.8.4 and previous versions; KDE 4.8.4 and previous versions; Firefox 19 and previous versions.

When opening a file on a webpage with official Firefox and selecting 'Open with...' > Gwenview, Gwenview at times takes a very long time to open the temp file.  I can see that it's been downloaded nearly instantly.

Restarting Firefox or Gwenview doesn't resolve this.  Restarting my computer does solve this for a temporary amount of time.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Keep computer running for a while (currently 34 days)
2.  Click an image link in Firefox, select Open With > Gwenview
3.  Wait a long time to see that image.
Actual Results:  
Gwenview opens after about 90 seconds but the actual image doesn't open for a much longer time.

Expected Results:  
Gwenview opens quickly and displays the image upon opening.

strace will be attached shortly.  This has been an issue for over a year now with various previous versions of KDE and Gwenview, and both Mozilla Firefox and Debian Chromium browsers.

I've cleared out my ~/.kde/ folder a few months ago in an attempt to resolve this and other issues.  This one still remains.
