Para: For testing and quality assurance of Fedora releases test@lists.fedoraproject.org Data: Sexta-feira, 5 de Outubro de 2012, 10:53 When I switch from one workspace to another there is a noticeable delay (3-6 seconds), whether I do it by mouse-wheel, by clicking on an open application in the taskbar, by using ctl-alt-arrow, or by setting the window manager to Wrap workspaces when the pointer reaches the screen edge and scrolling right or left. In the last case, the smaller the Edge resistance the better but it's still a noticeable delay. One thing I *do* notice is that those workspaces with the largest number of open GUI applications seem to take longer to switch to than those that don't. So, for example, if I switch to a workspace that just shows some desktop icons the switch is virtually instantaneous. But then when switching to my workspace that has, say, Thunderbird running in it, it will take upwards of 6 seconds or more. As a matter of fact, while drafting this email I switched to a blank ws and then back to this ws and the return switch took 8 seconds (since I had Thunderbird *and* the screen in which I was drafting this email open at the time). I then minimized Thunderbird and the new email GUI's and then switched back and forth with impunity. So is this an xfce issue or an X issue do you think? I didn't see this behaviour in the past before starting to work with F18 and rawhide. -- Regards, Kevin Martin -- I use F17 and Xfce. My PC is very old (Athlon) so I see a delay when switching to a thunderbird window but it's sometimes less than a second, sometimes maybe a couple of seconds. So specially if your computer isn't as old then maybe you have a video driver issue? Just a guess that might be wrong. So the issue exists but for some reason you're having it exaggerated. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test I don't see any issues on my F18 instances (VirtualBox) and F18 installed on my laptop, so it must be something there is depending on hardware.
