You have been subscribed to a public bug by Stéphane Graber (stgraber):

In Jaunty, it takes around a minute or so to start up inkscape and gimp
remotely through x11, even when doing it locally using 127.0.0.1.

Also , the majority of inkscape's tools are almost unusable, since it
takes around 10-20 seconds to draw a line after you really draw that
line using your mouse. The tools affected are tweak, eyedropper with
just mouseover, and tweak, 3d, pencil, pen, callig, text, connector,
eyedropper , when using them.

This will also affect all LTSP setups on Jaunty.

Steps to reproduce:
- allow remote X11 connections on your machine.
- startup gimp or inkscape doing "DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 gimp" (or DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 inkscape)
- wait...
- try to use inkscape without screaming :-)

Just did interrupt gimp and inkscape when they were completely started,
here are the results:

time DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 gimp

real	0m51.580s
user	0m3.964s
sys	0m0.264s

when run locally

time gimp

real	0m6.731s
user	0m2.476s
sys	0m0.280s

This really seems to be X related , and related to new libraries in
Jaunty. I did try to test it replacing Inkscape binary with Intrepid's
one, and the behavior was the same. Also, I tested it using NX , and
this behavior wasn't happening.
