[Bug 1219539] [NEW] Launcher tooltips and context menu are slow

To: dx-packages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Public bug reported:

When hovering the pointer around the Unity Launcher icons, the tooltips
(with the app name) load quite slowly, half a second or so before it's
drawn on screen.

Also if I right-click on the Launcher icons, the context menu lags, too.
The bigger the area of the context menu, the longer it takes to be shown
on screen.

This manifests on Intel 945GM graphics, with Core Duo.

BTW, the elements which use "Active Blur" are drawn quite slowly and
freeze the display while being drawn, too. (I read the related bug
report, but after adding -proposed and upgrading the bug kept
manifesting, I kind of solved it by deactivating Active Blur via Unity
Tweak Tool).

Not sure if this is a duplicate or if I am reporting against the
appropriate package, please correct me.
