Bug Description

Starting the gallery app with one picture in it causes HUD to go crazy on DBus. In about 10 seconds it makes 150 start requests to the Gallery to get menu information.

$ bustle-pcap gallery.bustle

$ bustle --count gallery.bustle
  150 method org.gtk.Menus.Start

This shouldn't be "Fix Released" because well, it hasn't been released yet. It's just committed to trunk currently.
