Bug Description
When I click go-home, it takes about 5 seconds until the windows are hidden. Minimizing the windows by hand works and shows the background instantly.
I'm using UNR 9.10

Actually it is more around 2 seconds...
After a little digging in the sources I found that the evildoer is not the applet but netbook-launcher, even if you can argue whether it is the best way to go through the whole initialization and startup stuff of netbook-launcher only to hide all windows (and show the "Favorites").
I guess a dbus interface would probably be the best thing to implement.
Since the go-home-applet is a central point of the user interface experience it might have a bad effect on (new) users causing them to say "Linux/ Ubuntu/ UNR/go- home-applet is slow on my netbook, while Windows was/is much faster". I don't think we should scare people away because of something like this...
