OK, didn't reboot but shutdown Zim, killed Python processes still
running, then launched from console
zim --debug

Here's the output: http://gist.github.com/anonymous/11012787

Note my .config under ~/ as well as the Zim/python installs are on a
normal ext3 filesystem, but looking at this reminded me my data folder
is encrypted with encfs and (once decrypted) sync'd via Dropbox.

I have tested after killing the Dropbox process, no change.

Next step - if you guys don't see anything in the gist - will be to
move the data folder and test again.

If that is the problem, then suggestions for an alternative
user-transparent encryption solution that doesn't slow things down
would be greatly appreciated.

PS thanks so much to the developer(s) and other contributors for this
excellent software, finally weaned myself away from Evernote after
nearly a decade's addiction.
