Hi all,

The UbuntuOne icon in my notification area seems to be constantly 
spinning.  When I mouseover the icon it says, "Ubuntu One: Verifying". 
Afaict that is all it ever says.  What is it verifying for all this 
time?  I thought it might be syncing files, but:

1) I'm not making many changes to that directory (though I am using it) 
2) The files I have added recently are not very big at all
3) Changes I make on the web and locally seem to take forever to be 
recognised on the other end
4) I'm getting files and directories with ".conflict" appended to the 
end where I have made a change on only one side

Lots of questions here, but why is it a conflict if I only make a change 
at one end?  For instance, somehow the "Shared With Me" folder ended up 
as both a top level folder and a sub-folder of the "My Files" folder.  I 
don't know how it got there, but I deleted it in the Web UI.  Now I have 
a directory in "My Files" called "Shared with Me.conflict"  I just 
wanted to delete it.  Another example, I edited a file in My Files and 
now I have the same filename with a .conflict appended.  As I cannot 
edit the files on the Web UI, how did I end up with a conflict?

If you would rather I report these as bugs please let me know, but I 
wanted to rule out general confusion first.

Regards,
Pete
