Hi, I repost an issue that makes me feel the gnome desktop could improve in this aspect: I'm used to the Alt-F2 "Run Application" shortcut for triggering the start of an application, but I find very annoying that it takes so long to show up (usually 3-4 seconds), because of the searching for available programs that allows for the autocompletion in the text field. Apparently, this searching process through the directories is very IO-bounded in terms of responsiveness. I think this could be improved, by not generating the list of programs every time, as an option, so that the responsiveness is similar to the "Command line applet". In this tool, there is a history of the most used calls, so there is autocompletion for those, and it is ovbiously faster. Maybe this is something that could be included in the "yet-another-option-bag" gconf, and edited via gconftool. Any comments? Albert. -- -------------------------------------------------- IM: avilella@xxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
