Title:
  Can't begin Typing Until All Panels Are Fully Loaded

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  software-center 5.6.0-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu 13.04

  Software-Center needs to be a multi-threaded application so that the
  user can begin typing their query BEFORE all panels are fully loaded.

  All load-intensive panels (of the software-center window) should be
  performed in a different thread than the the one that provides the
  search text-box-control. The search text box should loaded
  immediately, so the the user can begin typing immediately.

  You can decrease the perceived load time of this application by given
  the user something to do while the intensive portions of the window
  are loading. As is, the user must WAIT until the entire application is
  fully loaded before she can begin to type one character into the
  search box.

  When I use Software-Center, the first thing I do is type a search
  query. I would rather be able to type this upfront (letting the UI
  catch up with my query) rather than having to wait on the UI to finish
  loading for 9 seconds and then type my query. Am I alone?

  (Not to be confused with bug 1021779, about time taken for the window
  to open at all.)
