*** Bug 101858 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
In Bug 101858 the user mentions that changing back to a normal desktop does not fix the problem until he deletes the gconf dirs under home. I'd like to know if this slowness presists or if it is just nautilus doing an initial scan of subdirs of home. I thought that nautilus was ment to have a check to make sure that this didn't happen.
The slowness persists all the time mainly nautilus becomes slow dragging the desktop behind. At didnt remove the gconf dirs when i returned to the default view and a logout and relogin all was nice
Still seeing this?
There's further discussion at bug 101858 which identifies the NVIDIA drivers used as culprit (There was a release with crappy 2D performance IIRC). Resolving as NOTGNOME.
