But if it is a distro bug, then I would have to file it with Gentoo.  
Gentoo wants to know what fails and what package causes it.

It may depend on how many pics you have in your directories.  I have 
over 160,000 of them on mine.  Depending on your machine's speed and how 
many pics you have, it may be doing but just so fast that it isn't 
noticeable.   I just know it didn't do this in KDE 3.  I had to go 
change it whenever I added pics.  I sort of like the idea of the new way 
but I don't like that it does it 3 or 4 times before I can get out of 
the thing.  It sort of goes overboard right now.
