That is quite useful. Typical GNOME to make something like this 
invisible though.

BUT, it still takes 25 seconds to appear! There's some sort of timeout 
going on: nothing at all happens for 23 seconds, and then there is about 
2 sec of disc/cpu activity. Subsequent times are much faster, until Fx 
is restarted.
