Description of problem: As near as I can tell, the gnome-appearance-properties program insists on populating the page of "themes" before it becomes responsive after being started. This takes forever (or even longer on a slower system :-). The slow startup is even more irritating because I never want to fool with the themes anyway - the fonts are almost always what I want to get to. There used to be a separate gnome-font-properties program, and I never had any speed problems with it, I'd love to see it come back, or at least see the population of the themes page done entirely in background work procs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.22.1-4.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: every time I run the thing. Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gnome-appearance-properties 2. click on "Fonts" tab 3. watch the tab not change forever Actual results: see above Expected results: no long delay Additional info:
Can't reproduce here with Fedora 10.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
