Public bug reported: I use NX to connect to a work computer from home, over the Internet. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, and I noticed that GTK programs became very sluggish.
I currently have 1.10.0-1ubuntu3 of libcairo2 installed. If I override this with the Ubuntu 10.04 version of libcairo2, 1.8.10-2ubuntu1, performance is restored. I used LD_LIBRARY_PATH to run GTK programs with the old libcairo2 package. I'll attach a video demonstrating how much faster gedit is using the old libcairo2 package. Both my home and work computer run Ubuntu 10.10. The work computer has these NX packages installed: nxclient-3.4.0-7 nxnode-3.4.0-14 nxserver-3.4.0-14 The home computer only has the nxclient-3.4.0-7 package installed. The ping times from my home computer to work computer are about 35ms. I suspect this issue is related to, or a duplicate of, bug #595845.
