Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.4.2-6 Severity: normal When gnome-terminal has a transparent background and there's an image in the background (I run xplanet on the root window), then moving the window around is very slow. Letting my window manager slide the gnome-terminal window smoothly (with fvwm's AnimatedMove command) from one side of the desktop to the other takes several seconds, badly affecting overall system performance while doing so. The same behavior occurs when there's a program running inside of gnome-terminal that generates lots of output very fast.
This behavior only occurs after running gnome-terminal for several minutes. Setting the background to a solid color, and then back to transparent sometimes solves the problem for several more minutes, but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the problem goes away by itself, but sooner or later it comes back again. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-thomer Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-control-center 1:2.4.0-5 The GNOME Control Center for GNOME ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.4.1-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.3-4 The Audiofile Library ii libbonobo2-0 2.4.3-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.4.3-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libesd0 0.2.29-1 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libfontconfig1 2.2.1-16 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.4.0.1-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt1 1.1.12-4 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 2.0.1-6 Library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.2.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.4.0-4 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.4.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.4.0.1-6 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.4.1-4.1 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgnomevfs2-common 2.4.1-4.1 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgnutls7 0.8.12-5 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgtk2.0-0 2.2.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0-3 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libncurses5 5.3.20030719-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii liborbit2 1:2.8.3-2 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.2.5-2.1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 4.3.0-3 X Window System Session Management ii libstartup-notification0 0.5-4 library for program launch feedbac ii libtasn1-0 0.1.2-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libvte4 1:0.11.10-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 4.3.0-3 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.2-5 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.6-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-5 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-5 A free electronic cataloging syste ii xlibs 4.3.0-3 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
