Description Tim 2011-04-10 12:36:25 UTC 
The gnome-shell effects work fine until an application places a tray icon into the tray bar. Testet with banshee (2.0), empathy (3.0.0) and pidgin (2.7.11).

As soon as a tray icon is in there, the zoom effects are getting slow (e.g. clicking a window tile in the shell window overview) and the fade-in/fade-out of the tray bar itself gets slow too. The desktop change animation (STRG-ALT-UP/DOWN) is not affected and is still smooth.

When all the tray applications are closed, the animations are perfectly smooth again like at the startup of the system.
