That does not solve the problem for everyone else. People have proposed
nfs, dbus, tracker, various other things. The problem is still there
when I apply all the solutions I have seen.

Clearly there is some foolish delicate code in the file selection dialog
which almost anything can cause to hang. We can enumerate many of the
things that can make it hang, but that won't solve the problem. For
example, nobody's solution has worked for me :-)
