Netbook-launcher is unusably slow with Ubuntu 9.04 on Eee pc 701, too.

Steps to reproduce
0) I have an Asus EEE PC 701, Intel Celeron 900 MHz 32bit, BIOS American 
Megatrends Inc 0401 (10/17/2007), 512 MiB RAM (sudo lshw); and Sandisk 4 GB USB 
memory. 
1) Downloaded latest 9.04 UNR image 
http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img
 and wrote it to USB memory with dd
2) Booted eeepc701 from the USB stick (had to set boot order from BIOS settings 
F2); Chose "English", "Try ... without any change..." on boot menu. 
3) After a while, normal desktop appeared and netbook-launcher covered most of 
the desktop

Expected operation:
- I expected I could move my cursor normally over the icons on netbook-launcher

What actually happened (the bug):
- Cursor is very slow and jumpy. Program can be used very slowly. Jumpyness 
makes it too annoying for non-test usage. 

Further testing:
- Started Accessories: Terminal. Cursor moves normally when terminal covers the 
screen
- Ran 'top'. Suprisingly, netbook-launcher uses only 6% of memory and less than 
0.1% of CPU when it's on the background and I'm using gnome-terminal. 
- Netbook-launcher version is 1.6.20-0ubuntu2 (dpkg --list netbook-launcher)
