Description of problem: When I click on the menu, sometimes it pauses for 5-15 seconds doing 'something'; this isn't really new. However, now, when it does this, it seems to be stuck in a server grab - I can't switch windows or type. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.15.91-2.fc6 How reproducible: Fairly often. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open menu
you have to take a pointer grab when displaying a menu otherwise you can't get the "click anywhere outside the menu to make it go away" behavior. does it pause after showing the menu but before showing the icons, or pause before showing the menu? If the latter, its conceivable that we could do the grab later.
It pauses before showing the menus. I'm assuming it's rescanning desktop files and/or icons.
