Is someone seeing that behavior or it's just me?

If yes, I could report it to the backport's guys. If not, something
went wrong at my side and any hints would be great :-)


I see the same behaviour with iceweasel from backports. When you launch
iceweasel from the menu or a panel icon then you get start-up
notification as specified in the last line of the file
/usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop. When you launch from a
terminal, that is not the case.

Still, I don't know the underlying reason why iceweasel displays the
busy cursor for so long. Presumably some internal initialisation is
taking longer than expected. But I'm convinced that that is still the
case when launching from a terminal: it's just that we are not being
made aware of the fact.

Thanks for your feedback. I think I've discovered a very "dumb" trick.

Just creating a new launcher seems to solve the problem. You can use the
same options (command: iceweasel %u, description: Web browsing... etc.)

Could you please check if it also works for you?
