Bug Description
It would be nice it we could deactivate all kinds of animations, etc. When used with a terminal server, these kinds of animations can dramatically reduce the user experience. Even the minimize animation in Unity 2D (shrinking rectangle) can sometimes take several seconds when connected to the terminal server over a mobile broadband connection, for instance. Other than that, it's fast and responsive. It shouldn't be necessary to switch to another shell just because of this. Having the same interface in your office and when you're on the run, is valuable in and of itself.

To post a comment you must log in.
The minimise animation is Metacity. You could try disabling compositing:
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/metacity/
and do logout/in. It should speed things up, but you'll loose certain effects.
Have you tried setting the env vars: QT_NO_FAST_MOVE, QT_NO_FAST_SCROLL to see if they help performance?

But other than those suggestions, your use case is very much a corner case for us.
