According to my wristwatch with second hand resolution, getting a gedit window on my 1 GHz athlon with 512Meg ram... takes under a second from the moment I click on the gedit menu item on the accessories menu on this fc4 system... right after a fresh reboot and login to my gnome session. I really don't think ancedotal conversations about application window appearence time are worthwhile. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
