Here are the times it takes for some programs I tested to open/display their window. Quick is a reasonable amount of time (under 20 secs).
brasero - 3:12 vlc - quick openoffice - quick evince - quick (though I dont have the latest version from the intrepid repositories. I have 2.22.1.1-0ubuntu1) glchess - 3:10 mousepad - quick gedit - 3:10 thunar - quick xfburn - quick gimp - quick thunderbird - quick wireshark - quick abiword - quick gparted - quick synaptic - quick pidgin - quick Programs from the gnome-games packages display interesting behavior and they all behave in the same way. If I start them from the xfce menu, their initial window will appear within a few seconds, but it will be blank except for the title bar and will quickly become greyed out and "not responding". However, if i start them from the command line, nothing will appear for about 3:12, and then the window will appear correctly, however, it will be unresponsive. I still dont have any idea as to what would be the cause of all of this, though I will keep trying to find out. -- Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min, gtk-damaged? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231384 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
