Why the launcher is looking at screenshots files ?

Dear NGD,

I recently experienced a weird issue related to the /live/screenshots directory :

I had over 5k files there, and for some reasons (maybe inodes) the directory was corrupted. So when running the "rolauncher" my system was hanging because it was looking for files on wrong sectors of the harddrive.

I fixed out my issue just by running by hand a quick fschk on the partition/drive where this directory is located.

The question that come to my mind now is, why the launcher is looking for all the *.jpg files inside the screenshots/ directory ?

OS : Gentoo Linux
Filesystem : ext3 (raid1)

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
