Lazy gnome panel

[Parameshwara Bhat]

Dear list,

I observe gnome panel has become a littel unresponsive since the last  
update(2.8 to 2.10 - I do not remember when)

After initial login and after a delay in use, gnome panel menus take a few  
clicks before responding. I hoped it would go in upgrade.I observed the  
same behaviour in gnome 2.12 on suse10.But when I tried Ubuntu live cd  
using gnome 2.12, panel was felt as responsive as ever.It appears,it is  
something in the FC ( Suse ) core that causes this.

Anybody else has observed this?

I am running FC4 with all the latest Updates applied on a piii  
machine.Otherwise my system is stable and fine.

I've noticed it as well; seems the first time you click on the menus, 
they load up into a cache somewhere or other; after that, they seem to 
be pretty responsive. How much RAM do you have in your system? I'm 
running 256M on a 1GHz P-III.

Yep - I'm seeing it here on a Dell D800 with 512MB of RAM.  It's really
irritating.  I think it's time to start up a bugzilla entry...

I was just going to ask this. Well. I hope gnome menu will be responsive again 
in FC5.

The menus don't take the extreme length of time that FC4 does for FC5. I 
believe it is fixed based on FC5 test should have the latest upstream 
development packages.
