Pdigin seems to permanently reopen some files

Hi

I'm running fedora rawhide's Pidgin build 2.3.1-3.fc9.
Why the pingin opens same files all over again ?

i.e.:

16:23:58.677871
open("/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/emblems/16/blocked.png", O_RDONLY) =
21
16:23:58.681016 open("/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16/icq.png",
O_RDONLY) = 21
16:23:58.692300
open("/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/emblems/16/blocked.png", O_RDONLY) =
21
16:23:58.695760 open("/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16/icq.png",
O_RDONLY) = 21
16:23:58.707516 open("/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16/icq.png",

This is just a short sample.

There are far more things which are actually very strange.
(i.e. why the slow disk access locks pidgin so it's not refreshing window)
