Re: panel slowness?

On 22 Nov, Marcus Brubaker scribbled:
->  I have noticed something in panel that is kind of odd.  When I run without
->  a window manager, the panel hides and unhides itself very quickly (this is
->  a corner panel) but when I am running a window manager (E) it is
->  excessively slow.  My machine isn't small (k6 233, 128mb RAM) and E is not
->  so big as to take up THAT much CPU time/mem.  I'm not sure if this is a
->  bug with E, with the panel, or both.

that is because the panel is a managed client if it detetcs a WM
capabale of gnome hints - every move the panel makes means a server
round trip, context swithc to E, E hasd to handle and interpret the
event, then swtich back to server, server moves window, back to client
again.
