Gnome Flashback (Metacity and Compiz) experience lags in displaying selected wallpaper

[Bob Filipiak]

Using an alpah build of Trusty Gnome, I experience a time lag when i use the Flashback option for Gnome.

Gnome ("standard") will almost immediately display the wallpaper.

Gnome Classic will display the selected wallpaper after about a one second delay.

Gnome Flashback (Metacity) will display the panels (I have three, top, left side and bottom) after about one secoind, but it may take more than two minutes for the selected wallpaper to be displayed. During this time, any attempt to "use" the 'desktop' results is severe delays in redrawing the screen. i.e. Closing a window will display nested boxes correlating to the reducing window. Once the wallpaper is displayed, desktop reaction returns to normal.

Gnome Flashback (Compiz) will just display a gray-black screen, which refuses to respond to any input except the 3-finger-salute (CTL-ALT-DEL). Using a liove CD, I was able to extract the Xorg.log so I may be able to include it.

Reviewing the attached Xorg logs, not the lengthy delays in setting up the screen type for 'X'. The Compiz log was terminated after 224 seconds (more than 3-1/2 minutes) with a gray-black screen.

---> I do not know if this is in any way related to another bug filed today as a result of an apport lof (#1275953) by me.

This session was terminated with a "3 finger salute" because of unresponsiveness.

Notice to last time stamp in the log.
