Description Evandro Giovanini 2005-10-25 06:09:33 UTC 
When a GNOME session starts I see a blank panel, and then applets/launchers
appear on it. I believe this makes the desktop feel slower than it would if I
didn't see the panel until it had at least the basic applets loaded already.

My suggestion is to not show a panel (making it completely hidden) until certain
applets have finished starting. Only then the the panel appears. (Perhaps with
an animation, ie the same as when you move the mouse over a hidden panel).

I agree. This would be nice.
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2008-01-17 22:49:15 UTC 
I'd say the main menu applet should be visible.

Vincent, is there any applet loading order?
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2008-01-20 12:35:23 UTC 
Christian: the order is the order in gconf. That's all, iirc.
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2008-02-11 15:40:30 UTC 
Things should feel much better with trunk :-)
