I cannot help you with the gpbs process being so slow. From what I can 
tell it time outs while trying to get a valid time stamp, that is we are 
not even interacting with another application. It may just be that newer 
X Servers are clever enough to optimize away our null append property 
operations.

About the NSSecureTextField there has been a patch from Saso about a 
month ago to the GNUstep developer mailing list. This should fix the 
display of dots. It is just that I want to get this resolved 
differently, but don't have the time to implement this at the moment. 
Perhaps I should commit Saso's patch until then.
