Very strange, I see Gnome 2 and 2.2 a lot faster than 1.4

I have the very same problem.  It is annoying. And this is with an
Athlon 2000 XP

Something similar happens when I use gnome-terminal with the
configuration interface of the kernel source (make menuconfig). I got
pretty odd behaviour.

Again, the same problem here. moving the terminal window results in a
very slow redrawing of the terminal backgroud to adjust the shade with
the desktop backgroud. (consuming 100% of the cpu)

Like I said before, Gnome 2.X should be working faster, specially on
slower computers.
