Well, after reading all of your comments I think that an option as the libreoffice quickstarter would be the best: one could decide which app make fast, just as now we do with libreoffice. Anyway these feature are maybe matter of each program, so I should contact developers of Nausilus, Firefox, To

OK so I read your proposal as using graphics to communicate that the process is occuring, even if it is taking longer than usual. I find that the launcher icon pulsing does not provide enough feedback. When you launch a program and it doesn't start for a while, there are (for me anyway) two qu

I had to google to find out how to disable some of the many un-needed startup items as I found the log-in time to be much longer than it should be. Last thing I want is it slowing down again. Unless it is by option only, not default. On 27 May 2012 19:24, Gabriel Pettier wrote: > Le dim. 27 mai 2

It may speed up the launching of apps, which is a good thing but would also slow down login would it not? I'm not sure it's worth a longer login in order to load apps faster that might not even be launched during a particular session. Also, what affect would having these apps launched and using u

I got this idea: let's start automatically the icons on the launcher at login, or at least the most used (I know preload and so on...) as nautilus, firefox, libreoffice. This will give the perception of fast start at the first click. So as you log in nautilus will be opened and reduced to icon on t
