Yes, it makes sense. Of course this is not proper fix, but at least session starts without delay.
I think there can be side-effects... 1) If nautilus is autostarted in Desktop phase (/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop). With workaround gnome-panel will start after nautilus not before. This means that nautilus will think that all screen is available for desktop icons. When panel will start nautilus will redraw desktop icons in new place because now nautilus will know that not all screen is available. I hope you understand what i tried to tell... My pc is fast enough, i don't see this redraw (icon reposition), but it might be because nautilus-classic is not used in my session. 2) For example, if skype is autostarted in not minimised state could result in case when window is opened in top/left corner and panel is drawn over window. But I think that window manager should reposition window when panel is started. You should check if this is or is not problem. I am using metacity gtk3 version and heavily modified gnome-panel version so I think my tests may not be true for standard installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256961 Title: new glib (2.39.1) causes some indicators & nautilus to not load promptly Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Test case: updated 14.04 install with glib (2.39.1) & default installed indicator-applet-complete Log into either flashback session indicators session, datetime & sound will not be present additionally nautilus will have not been started (handling the Desktop), can be seen by absence of r. click on Desktop Wait 1-2 min, then the indicators will load & nautilus will have started (nautilus can be started prior to from places With previous glib (2.38+) none of this occurs ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: gnome-session-flashback (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.12.0-4.12-generic 3.12.1 Uname: Linux 3.12.0-4-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Dec 2 10:29:31 2013 SourcePackage: gnome-panel UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1256961/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
