Something about it also introduces a delay. If I run emacs in a plain old FVWM session with no 3D composting going on, it is perfectly functional. If I run it under gnome-shell, I notice things like moving the cursor to extend the selection introduces a distinct delay that makes it very disconcerting to try and concentrate on what I'm editing rather than being constantly distracted by the random delays. This is all on the same hardware with the same video driver, so the difference has to be gnome-shell. ---------------------------------------------------- Tom, This aspect of gnome3 has driven me bonkers. Like the others I keep waiting for an update to fix things. My perspective is that I like what gnome3 does, but it is really not read for the users I support.
