Hi James,

Excerpts from James Robertson's message of 2012-04-14 13:17:05 +0200:

I had the same behaviour as you for Iceweasel so tried gimp which
seems to use startupnotify properly and this works as expected,
however Gimp would only finish loading once I moved to the desktop it
was on. This might be to do with the exec line though and will wait
and see what Michael has to say.
The problem with gimp is that it waits until its splash screen is actually
showing (getting mapped on the screen) before it continues loading…

You should report this as a problem at gimp if you need this functionality :).

Best regards,
Michael
