It is hard to describe what exactly is the problem, but on a newly
rebuilt machine some things are darned slow.
I just rebuilt my Gutsy i386 machine as Hardy Beta amd64 using the
xubuntu distro. flavor. Everything at that time seemed relatively okay,
but I have not been running it long to say for sure.
Yesterday (or Sunday morning - the 30), I installed the latest updates
through apt, and I am having a lot of problems, all of which are hard to
point a finger at. I cannot remember the exact packages that were
upgraded, but I have attempted to rebuild the list from the apt log file
(see below). I am seeing not only some X instability (a lot of crash
dialogs popping up), but some general slowness problems. For example,
nut-cgi requests to a running upsd on the same box keep timing out, but
I cannot see any log information that would hint for what is going on.
On xfce4 startup, I launch mail-notification. It takes about 5 min for
the icon to show up in the system tray. If I start mail-notification
from the command-line, it runs with no output, but the UI just does not
come up for a very long time.
I am not running compiz at the moment, so despite its upgrade it should
not be having an effect to my knowledge.

Now, I am using an old version of nut, so I am going to ignore that for
now (nut 2.2.1 is not compatible with my UPS at the moment). All my
other problems seem to be with the UI. When I did the above upgrades, my
Xfce4 sessions were corrupted. xfce4-panel would no longer start
automatically, and when it did start all my icons were missing. I had to
purge my .local, .cache and .config user directories to repair things.
Furthermore, other tray icons were having problems. For example, knotes
would start a little window instead of creating the tray icon. The same
problem happened with knutclient.
It seems as if it may be gtk related, but I am not sure at all. Most of
the slowness all happens around the tray icons. After starting a new
xfce session with those local folders deleted, knotes and other k* tray
icons start fine, but mail-notification is still really slow.
- Anyone have an idea of what is going on or similar experiences? If you
- have similar experiences, are you on amd64 too, or is this also
- happening on i386?
+ Here are some more programs that are unusably slow at the moment:
- Thank you,

+ mail-notification
+ archive manager
