hi all, Thanks michael for your prompt reply. As such there are no activities running in the background as my application is run. I even tried running the application without a theme. But the response was same, this is due to reason that I am using a very light weight gtk-theme.
I have a solution, just wanted to share it with you people whether that will be correct or not. In my application, there are 7 different tabs with all the tabs are having lots of widgets. So as the application starts up, it loads all the widgets before returning from the function in interface.c . So instead of loading all the 7 tabs in the same function, I am thinking of dividing the code in 7 parts and showing the front tab first, with the other tabs loading subsequently, This will virtually create an effect as if my application has taken 1/7th the time it is taking now. The idea seems nice on paper, but will it work?? I just wanted to confirm before proceeding, as its a really big project, and will take a lot of effort to re-arrange the code. Thanks in advance.
