Please, no threads, no! The screenshot is only taken if it does not exist, otherwise the existing screenshot is used. So, the performance penalty is not there every time, only when the old screenshot does not exist. The idea of the screenshot is to fool the user to think that the application starts really quickly and shows an empty window and then appears to complete its window drawing (when the real window is shown and drawn). So, the screenshot should look like the application window before the content is drawn into it to keep this illusion. -Kimmo _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
