Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
As the title says, Gnome-panel freezes until the SMB share is loaded by Nautilus. Shouldn't Gnome-panel be creating a new thread to handle the network latency? On days when the SMB shares are especially slow to load, my desktop and tool bars can be locked up for minutes at a time. Meanwhile, there is no indication that the folder is loading. I know that you guys are fond of marking usability bugs as "wishlist" items and ignoring them, but this is a huge disruption to work flow and is exactly the sort of thing that serious computer users point to when they say that "Ubuntu (or Linux in general) just doesn't the polish that it needs to be usable". In that light, I urge developers to mark this as a high-priority bug and get it fixed for Hardy, if not sooner. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Going to Places -> $(some SMB server) freezes Gnome-Panel until folder has loaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
