After installing the package 'xautomation' I used the following command in session startup:
xte 'mousemove 10 1040' 'mouseclick 1' 'usleep 100000' 'mouseclick 1' 'mousemove 700 525' This simulates two mouseclicks over the menu icon (open and close) with a short delay (0.1s) in between and moves the mouse back to the centre of the screen. If you have a smaller screen than 1400x1050 you will have to adjust the coordinates. Since I put this in session startup the menu opens without delay as it has already been opened at startup. However, this is a dirty workaround and a real fix would be greatly appreciated. -- Gnome menu is slow when clicking for the first time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
