I wanted to change the background picture of a terminal window.
Unfortunately there is no scripting support for this so I had to use UI
scripting. I came up with a solution but one of the steps involved is
really slow. When scripting a click on the "Set" button the file
browser window is displayed immediately but then there is a long pause.
(See code below)
Why does this operation take so long time?
Thanks,
Joakim
