Gnome I enjoy using many different desktop environments and operating systems. On a day-to-day basis, I use Finder, Explorer, GNOME, and KDE. They all have their good sides, but obviously, they have their fair share of bad sides as well. The next couple of columns will be about the latter. This week, I take a look at whatever bothers me about Ubuntu's GNOME/Linux combination (Dapper, obviously).

ubuntu does boot quite quickly though, but still not as fast as os x.

as for gnome's redraw speed - it's truely a disgrace. try with a xinerama set up and drag one window from one desktop to another, and you'll see how bad things can be. i don't think this will ever be fixed, they'll just implement an open gl x server to get around it, rather than fix the gtk slowness.
