Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
The gnome panel has a clock applet that displays a clock on any panel, in several different display modes. When clicked, the clock displays a calendar view of the current month, with the 'today' date selected. The problem is that the display is slow. The first time I open the calendar in a session, it takes several seconds to display the window. After that, it's a bit better, but it still takes around a second to show the calendar window. It takes about a second to hide it, too. This on a Centrino Duo with hardly any CPU load... It's not a show-stopper by any means, but it creates a very strong sensation of unresponsiveness. I also have the impression that the first, longer, delay actually freezes the panel for a few seconds, but since it only happens once per session I can't tell with certainty. Considering that things like Gaim display their much larger window without any noticeable delay, this is a bit embarrassing. (This is on freshly-updated Ubuntu Feisty.) ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- the calendar of the clock applet is slow https://launchpad.net/bugs/87796 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
