Better question: is there any hope of GNOME developers *not* breaking
critical functionality from release to release? After 12 years with
Ubuntu, I can come up with a huge list of extremely frustrating and
sometimes downright dangerous regressions, almost all of them in

Since the update to 2.22.1, searching the body of all mailboxes for a
string of text has been abysmally slow on my evolution mail. I have ~ 1
GB of mail scatter over a few folders, with many PDF attachments.
Prior to the upgrade, searching for text used to be instantaneous.
Well, I'm fairly sure that this is not purely a GTK issue. I've tested
many other GTK apps with complicated multi-panel windows (rhythmbox,
pidgin), and they don't have this issue. As far as I can tell, this is
only a problem with Evolution and Mozilla.

I'd like to add that I'm experiencing this with an NVIDIA card (Quadro

to span both ATI and NVIDIA cards as well as metacity and compiz. This
would appear to support the idea that it's a bug in the applications
themselves.
