[Bug 714626] [NEW] gnome-terminal slow to start

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Starting up gnome-terminal is slow (around half a second), even when
hot-starting, while it was immediate in 10.04.

I did some strace-ing (logs attached below) and the culprit is a 400ms
long read() on the X socket. I file this bug in xorg because it's
probably caused by the intel Q35 (GMA3100) driver which is known to be
particularly broken in maverick in dual screen setups (missing secondary
screen #619663, regular freezes #628556, various graphical corruptions,
...)
