Response Time

[Hannibal-King]

Is it possible to change the menu response time in Daryna Gnome?

It's really frustrating because when I hover my over accessories it takes 2-3 seconds before something happens.
Also when I hover my mouse over "All" it takes 8 seconds to respond. So if I just accidently hover over it, it takes 8 seconds before I can do anything else.

When I move my mouse over "Places" - Computer, Homefolder, etc. etc... It reacts instantly, but if I keep my mouse over some of the menu's, a popup bubble appears, that tells you some info about that menu.
If I then change menu again, it takes 1-2 seconds before the bubble disappears and I can click something else.

This is really frustrating for me.. I tried KDE, and there's no problem with the start menu there... But in Gnome.. It just lacks a fast response time in the menu..

Is there anything I can do about this?

No that didn't help a bit..

Anyone else??

Could you post some computer specs? Are you running Mint on an old system? Have you checked how your RAM is used (top or htop in terminal)?

[Hannibal-King]

Thinkpad T60 SXGA+, Model: 2007-FUG

1,83 Ghz Core duo T5600
3GB Ram 667 Mhz
ATI Mobility RADEON x1400 128 MB ram

Did HTOP:

Aprox, 200 MB being used out of my 3042 MB.
nothing in Swap.

So it seems like it's not my system.

Did you get heavy CPU usage with HTOP? Your computer should run Mint just fine, I have it on a laptop with 1.80 GHz AMD Athlon X2 and 2 GB RAM, nothing like that for me. And is it just mintMenu? Are you using the beta (newest) or the one that came bundled with Mint?

Hi,

This is a known problem with mintMenu, I'm trying to fix it in the upcoming 3.2 version.

PS: It's driving me crazy as well by the way

[Hannibal-King]

Okay. Thanks for the reply Clem
It actually annoys me so much that I switched to KDE.. But.. you know.. I didn't really feel the love..

So I'll just stick to Mint Gnome, and wait for the upcoming release

Would this be the same as when I hit quit the computer freezes for about 30 seconds?

Nope.. Not at all.

So guys.. Actually what I was looking for was the old gnome menu.. I found it by right clicking on my panelbar, -> Add to panel -> And just added Main Menu instead of Mintmenu.
And now it's response time got so much better.

So now my question is... How to I turn the little info popups, off that appears when you hover your mouse over a menu?
Example: When hover over Firefow it sais: "Browse the world wide web"

It's not a speed issue here.. just that when the popup appears and I decide to choose another menu, it takes a little while for the blue flash button to follow my mouse again.

So how do I turn the little popups off...?
