I have this issue as well. Notes: It is on Lucid AMD64 bit
It happens not on my account (used in the install) but on other accounts on this machine. Removing the clock applet solves the slow panel appearance issue. BUT I also note that PLACES/CONNECT TO SERVER is very slow, and watching wireshark while trying to connect as login FTP on my LAN (almost instant from my account) it seems to me that the delay is inside this machine, that is, the network traffic is timely and as expected. An earlier commenter about this issue (in the Ubuntu forums?) also mentioned "network flaky?". I think it appears to be slow network but is in fact something slow inside this machine. Ping to the FTP server is fine. Use of TOP does not point to something hogging CPU. Hope this might help. -- Panel slow to open cause date/time applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
