Maybe a bit off-topic, but the lack of launch feedback when opening a
terminal via the desktop pop-up menu (as opposed as using System Tools
-> Terminal) can make it *appear* even slower, or even broken. And the
same thing for folders opened by nautilus: no launch feed-back makes it
feel broken sometimes...
