New description:

 strace shows that Bounce opens and reads over 100 icons that it clearly
 doesn't need, from places like
 /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/battery-030.icon .

 (unexplored avenue:  other activities may do this as well.)

 to reproduce:

 {{{
 $ strace -o /tmp/bounce.st -f -p <pid-of-rainbow-daemon>
 }}}

 then, start bounce, let it run a bit, and kill the strace.

Comment(by marco):

 Yeah that's the gtk icon theme. Gtk is supposed to mmap those icons, but I
 *think* that's only implemented for non-svg formats right now.
