[Shotwell] Updating library…

Hi Romain,

What would be really helpful here is a log file generated by Shotwell
during one of these start-ups that requires a long time "updating
library." Shotwell has a logging feature and is pretty good about
writing into the log file what it is doing at any given time.

To run Shotwell with logging enabled, start Shotwell with this command line:

$ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 shotwell

This will generate a log file at ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log.

If you can reproduce this behavior with logging turned on, email your
log file to shotwell at yorba.org (the mailing list doesn't accept
attachments). That'd go a long way to helping us nail down what's
causing this issue.
