Comment 226 for bug 439448

Hi all and in front the developer. Same bug here - but that is not the whole reason why I am writing. I saw that you have put the bug under importance medium, first of all - in my opinion the user interface should work, you get crazy always clicking on the wrong icon, or waiting for the popups to arrive. Second - your solution for a workaround is not acceptable - that I found out myself - but not practicable. I try to convince all my customer and friends to jump over to ubuntu - well it is hard in this moment. I understand that secutrity goes first, but in this case, it is more than annoing to work.I am a professional softwaredeveloper and web-designer, so I need this to go smothly. And please do not tell me, I should place all apps on one (default) panel - no room for that, I asure you. I am using wine, VM, a lot of IDE's and editors, and always to go in the main menu - well - at least that Win did better. and I hate win - since 1985 (at that time I worked with Unix V too). so please - you nice people from ubuntu - I love your philosophy, that is why I choosed ubuntu among all the other distris - do something about it. X11 with Gnome would be perfect for me, and it was until the last update.

I can't not quite follow the the previous writer, quoting:

"the slower your disks and the more startup applications you have the more likely you are to see the problem."
I have a quad-pro and a pretty fast HD - still the problem turns of every time I start (and that is annoing, because I have to start anew 10 times aday - testing apps with win, wine and VM).

To the writer "Mal" - it also seems to me as possible temporary solution, but still I am not quite satisfied - too many apps, and for that I would need a 4.th panel.

Thanks and regards,
Dag Jarle Johansen
