Reducing X Window System Network Traffic

This section describes preferences that you can set to reduce X Window System network traffic on the GNOME Desktop.

To Use Theme Options Which Create Less Network Traffic

Remote display protocols do not transfer every pixel in a block of pixels if all pixels in the block are the same color.

To reduce X Window System network traffic, use a window frame theme option that uses solid colors. That is, use one of the following window frame options:

  • Atlanta

  • Esco

For information on how to change theme options, see the section called “To Use Theme Options Which Require Less CPU Resources”.

To Reduce Network Traffic by Turning Off Display of Icons in Menus

Some items in menus display an icon beside the item. If the icon is located on another file system, this feature can increase X Window System network traffic. This feature can also increase X Window System network traffic if the panels are displayed on a remote host.

For information on how to turn off this feature, see the section called “To Reduce CPU Usage by Turning Off Display of Icons in Menus”.
