I was having the most wonderful experience with Gnome 3.4, as I thought message tray conversations had forever freed me up from having to use messy chat windows to keep conversations going while being productive.

However, with Gnome 3.6 the message tray now takes forever to show up with mouse movements, so that it became pretty much useless.

I've been pretty much using the activities view instead of the message tray 100% of the time, simply because it does not take an eternity to load.

I understand some people with bad motor skills were having trouble moving the mouse near the bottom right corner without bringing up the tray, but this shouldn't have us abort an otherwise excellent functionality.

Please make that delay optional, I can't believe most people would be that uncoordinated. Worse though, even if they are, the time it takes now is clearly excessive.

This is different from the problem of the tray covering up text boxes, which got fixed by the "raising the desktop when displaying tray" effect. This is simply about how long does it take to get to a conversation.

Thank you!

Ni!
