Title:
After xorg and gtk updates many programs run extremely slow
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
It is hard to describe what exactly is the problem, but on a newly
rebuilt machine some things are darned slow.
I just rebuilt my Gutsy i386 machine as Hardy Beta amd64 using the
xubuntu distro. flavor. Everything at that time seemed relatively
okay, but I have not been running it long to say for sure.
Yesterday (or Sunday morning - the 30), I installed the latest updates
through apt, and I am having a lot of problems, all of which are hard
to point a finger at. I cannot remember the exact packages that were
upgraded, but I have attempted to rebuild the list from the apt log
file (see below). I am seeing not only some X instability (a lot of
crash dialogs popping up), but some general slowness problems. For
example, nut-cgi requests to a running upsd on the same box keep
timing out, but I cannot see any log information that would hint for
what is going on. On xfce4 startup, I launch mail-notification. It
takes about 5 min for the icon to show up in the system tray. If I
start mail-notification from the command-line, it runs with no output,
but the UI just does not come up for a very long time.
I am not running compiz at the moment, so despite its upgrade it
should not be having an effect to my knowledge.

Now, I am using an old version of nut, so I am going to ignore that
for now (nut 2.2.1 is not compatible with my UPS at the moment). All
my other problems seem to be with the UI. When I did the above
upgrades, my Xfce4 sessions were corrupted. xfce4-panel would no
longer start automatically, and when it did start all my icons were
missing. I had to purge my .local, .cache and .config user directories
to repair things. Furthermore, other tray icons were having problems.
For example, knotes would start a little window instead of creating
the tray icon. The same problem happened with knutclient.
It seems as if it may be gtk related, but I am not sure at all. Most
of the slowness all happens around the tray icons. After starting a
new xfce session with those local folders deleted, knotes and other k*
tray icons start fine, but mail-notification is still really slow.
Here are some more programs that are unusably slow at the moment:
mail-notification
archive manager
gweled
meld
aisleriot solitare
blackjack
gnu chess
five or more
four in a row
freecell solitare
glade-3
etc.
Note that gimp is fine, so it is definitely not all gtk programs
