Description Morten Welinder 2003-04-15 16:09:48 UTC 
Sorry about the bogus component -- the tray is the culprit, but that is not
an option.

libegg is calling XInternAtom in many places.  It should
probably be calling the gdk equivalent as much as possible.

It has been suggested that XInternAtom is a major cause of startup slowness,
see http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/usenix2003/html/net.html -- getting all
the calls to go one way and use the cache will help.

Creating new component and reassigning.
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2003-09-30 20:01:00 UTC 
Note that XInternAtom actually does keep a cache.

Killing eggtraymanager in libegg and moving to the notification area.
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2006-08-10 20:24:07 UTC 
Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
