Hi.
Thanks for your bug report. I believe you are encountering a
known problem, caused by panel trying to find each executable
in your PATH, in order to support auto-completion. The problem
becomes particularly noticeable when you have added many
lockers.
This problem was addressed in a later version of gnome-panel,
by only looking for executables which match what the user has
already typed in. I have submitted a patch which backports this
change to our version of gnome-panel; this will appear in an
upcoming Athena patch release.
Thanks again for reporting this.
