Probably for usability reasons. If submenus appear immediately upon mouseover, you'll lose the currently open submenu when you accidentally moves your mouse outside the current submenu's space. MS Windows also behaves similarily, though their delay is longer than GTK's. Yet people complain more about GTK's speed than Windows's speed. _______________________________________________ Performance-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/performance-list
