it actually seems to be doing a lot every 2 seconds (pid 458 is
nautilus)

jacob wet-pants:libnautilus-extensions$ strace -tt -p 458 2>&1 | grep
open
17:37:54.009476 open("/etc/mnttab", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)

17:37:56.025695 open("/etc/fstab", O_RDONLY) = 15
17:37:56.026496 open("/etc/fstab", O_RDONLY) = 15
17:37:56.027119 open("/etc/fstab", O_RDONLY) = 15

so the call to check the desktop dir probably won't make a difference.
