I assume you mean the live installer by this, as the normal anaconda doesn't run gnome-shell at all. A compositor has some of the same properties as the X server itself: it _has_ to respond when an app draws something, otherwise the bits don't show up on the screen. So it's possible that what you're seeing there is anaconda updating the screen "often" (more than 60fps, at least), and X and the shell struggling to keep up. But this is what profilers are for. - ajax -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
