GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 140305
Runs really slow with transparency when desktop has no background picture
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: Whenever I use gnome-terminal with the background transparency feature, and I don't have a desktop background image (only the default Gnome 2.6 background color), the gnome terminal application starts to run really slow. This only happens when the background is set to one color, not a gradient. I'm not sure why. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use the default desktop background color in gnome without a background picture. 2. start gnome-terminal and turn on transparent background 3. N/A Actual Results: the terminal application begins to run extemely slowly. Expected Results: It should work at the same speed as it does when there is a background picture. How often does this happen? Every time i set the desktop background to the default color-only and I run the terminal. Additional Information: This could have been a problem in previous versions, but before 2.6 the default background was a gradient, not a solid color.
