Problem with SAVE AS

Hi there,

I've some trouble with my editors (gedit, vim) when I try to SAVE AS:

the application freezes and if I try to close it I get the message "The windows ... is not responding. Forcing this application to quit will cause you to lose any unsaved changes"

...while everything works fine when I click on SAVE.

Any help would be appreciated,

GB

My first guess would be that your root folder is cluttered with untold thousands of files, which a fancy GUI file dialog would try to stat one by one before displaying anything.
