This problem is made a LOT worse when using a Live CD. In fact, the first time the menu is opened, it can cause the CD to spin up again, with a long delay. If these icons were loaded into memory on startup of gnome-panel (during which the user is waiting around for gnome to start anyway), the delay would not be present.
Is this a more general problem than just gnome-panel? Does this apply to all icons in GTK menus? Perhaps GTK should preload all the icons whenever the application is started? -- Trivial actions are not appearing immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
