Description Elijah Newren 2007-03-31 05:43:58 UTC 
As noted in bug 354213, we are doing quite a bit of server pinging to obtain timestamps, particularly when switching workspaces.  We ought to be able to group several of these pingings together to only ping once per workspace switch.  We may be able to do better than that as well; e.g. in some places we could replace the server pinging with a display->last_user_time value if we were to start recording such a value.  Also, we could possibly use part of Soeren's timestamp idea from bug 151984 (asking the os for the current time, then translating to an X Timestamp); that'd be an OS call but not a roundtrip to the X server.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
