gnome main-menu hangs with active network connection

hello,

I use 10.2 with the Gnome desktop, which worked well so far until today 
suddenly some strange things happened to the main-menu:


When I click the menu button, nothing happens for about 2 minutes until 
finally the menu will appear. I  then can close it and reopen it without 
this problem, but if I start an application or do a click inside the menu, 
the next time I try to open the menu will again take forever. 

Strange thing is that it will only happen if I have an active network 
connection, when I close the connection before, everything works ok, this 
can be reproduced, turn net off and menu will work, turn it on again and 
problem is there.

My system is a default install of 10.2 on a notebook, and network manager 
is used for handling a few different wireless connections.


Has someone encountered such a thing before, or maybe does someone know 
what the gnome main-menu has to do with networking at all?

greetings

Hello,

further investigation showed that cable-bound network connections are ok, 
only wireless connections lead to the described behavior.

May it be possible that the NetworkManager inside the SuSE main-menu is 
the problem?

Hello,

problem could be resolved by clearing ~/.recently-used.xbel

maybe problem was that not all documents in the list where actually 
reachable because some of them reside on networked servers.
