bug has been filed for a long time now.  We need a propper answer  and it is 
not yet found. it would be much simpler if gnome followed the freedesktop.org 
spec  and all you needed was to update the directory time stamp.  however as 
gnome goes further we now have this situation.  

if we have to run it it in the rpm transaction.  it should be run only once 
per rpm transaction not once per rpm.
