Public bug reported:

I'm at an event where the wifi has a captive portal (hhonors) and a company wireless network (Canonical)
I connected to hhonors first when I arrived and so it often gets chosen when I boot my phone.

When I boot up or unlock the device I see no icons in the dash for many seconds.
I have to either wait a long while (a minute) or switch to a wireless network which doesn't have a captive portal.

I don't believe we should be dependent on a network connection to just
show locally installed application icons.

** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- Icons don't load when on a poor quality network
+ Application icons take a long time to load on slow network
