[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#618115: xfce4-terminal: Slow to prepare a new terminal when opening a new tab
Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.4.5-1
Severity: wishlist
It takes around 2 seconds for xfce4-terminal to prepare a usable terminal when
opening a new tab or a new window. I wonder if the delay is caused by the delay
in creating a new pseudo-terminal with /dev/ptmx.
If so perhaps it is possible to have Terminal create an extra ptty ahead of time
in a buffered fashion, so that the delay is experienced only on startup.
Thanks for the good work.
