didrocksseb128: known, but not reported. In any case, there is a discussion about changing the icon, so it doesn't worth the change12:23
seb128didrocks, "doesn't worth the change"?12:23
didrocksseb128: like, doesn't worth putting back the old icon as it will be changed again12:24
seb128well the icon is not the issue, the issue is the launcher listing compiz as a running software where it's a system component12:24
didrocksoh sorry, was in another conversation and linked to a ccsm bug12:24
didrocksseb128: do you run it with a unity.desktop?12:25

cyphermoxdidrocks, I wonder if there is anyway to test less, or more pointed things?13:05
didrockscyphermox: no, because what takes time is opengl initialisation13:06
didrockscyphermox: then, it's just reading values in an array13:06
cyphermoxah, I see13:08
cyphermoxfive seconds still seems like a lot, even if it's only to be on first boot once it's cached13:08
didrocksit's not only on first boot13:09

mterryseb128, waiting for it to be added to the desktop set.  :)20:59
seb128oh ok ;-)20:59
mterryseb128, it's fixed in upstream trunk20:59
seb128mterry, did they take your patch or was it already fixed?21:00
mterryseb128, turns out it was already fixed, but basically in the same way my patch did21:01
seb128ok, sorry for the work duplication with them then21:01
mterryUpstream blamed valac for the change of behavior, but I don't think that is the case (I tested with 0.11.2 to be sure)21:01
