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).

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.
It's sad, but that's what I think they'll do as well. It's also sad in that you're going to need hardware acceleration to really take advantage of a fully OpenGL powered X server. This isn't what desktop Linux was supposed to be about.
What will probably happen is they'll get around the problem in one way, but the problems will probably manifest themselves in another area.
