Description:   Opened: 2008-05-21 14:18 0000 
Recently inkscape has taken a very long time to launch if it is started by a
regular user (~25 seconds compared with < 10).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to start media-gfx/inkscape-0.46-r2 using a ~AMD64 system as a
regular user.


Expected Results:  
Inkscape should (and used to) have similar times for both regular users and
root.

Using an ~AMD64 system. In order to 'solve' the problem I have emerge -e world.
GTK theme is the same for both root and normal user, preferences (~/.inkscape)
have been deleted to ensure that they are not the problem.

Attached are strace -tt logs of normal and root users starting inkscape. Exact
cause is unknow.

This is not reproducible on my systems. Maybe you'll have more luck when you
report this upstream.
- Is this a regression compared to inkscape-0.45?
- Could you paste your emerge -pv inkscape output here?

------- Comment #5 From Samuli Suominen 2008-05-24 10:54:25 0000 ------- 
because inkscape doesn't use python.eclass to byte-compile and optimize the
plugins into .pyc and .pyo and as non-root you won't have write permission
to the plugins directory.

solution, 

restore functionality -> convert to python.eclass, python_mod_optimize,
python_mod_cleanup..

/usr/share is wrong place for python since it's getting byte-compiled,
should convince upstream to change it to libdir. patch welcome.
