[Bug 1256961] Re: new glib (2.39.1) causes some indicators & nautilus to not load promptly

[Alberts Muktupāvels]

Yes, it makes sense. Of course this is not proper fix, but at least
session starts without delay.

I think there can be side-effects...
1) If nautilus is autostarted in Desktop phase (/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop). With workaround gnome-panel will start after nautilus not before. This means that nautilus will think that all screen is available for desktop icons. When panel will start nautilus will redraw desktop icons in new place because now nautilus will know that not all screen is available. I hope you understand what i tried to tell...

My pc is fast enough, i don't see this redraw (icon reposition), but it
might be because nautilus-classic is not used in my session.

2) For example, if skype is autostarted in not minimised state could
result in case when window is opened in top/left corner and panel is
drawn over window. But I think that window manager should reposition
window when panel is started.

You should check if this is or is not problem.

I am using metacity gtk3 version and heavily modified gnome-panel
version so I think my tests may not be true for standard installation.
