1) Clicking on the Nautilus desktop menu to open a terminal results in a noticeable delay before the window has appeared on the screen. For such a simple application it should be instantaneous (my rig is a 2,.4GHz Athlon with 767MB RAM).
Maybe a bit off-topic, but the lack of launch feedback when opening a terminal via the desktop pop-up menu (as opposed as using System Tools -> Terminal) can make it *appear* even slower, or even broken. And the same thing for folders opened by nautilus: no launch feed-back makes it feel broken sometimes...
I addressed this in my initial rant in this thread too. We need more fine granularity in application feedback control across the board.
