Ideogram takes too long to load (or display?)

[eljefuri]

This seemingly tiny widget takes about 2 seconds to pop up on my computer. Assuming that it is to be used as either an emoji browser or something to pop up for copy/paste purposes, that seems about 2 seconds too long to me.

I'm guessing this is yet another issue with the GTK emoji picker itself, but I'll leave this open in case there are any optimizations I can do in what little code is here.

What about leaving the app running and just hide it after the first invocation?

[cassidyjames]

@Akryum that's probably the best solution. I'll see if that reduces the initialization time.

[ChildishGiant]

Have you had a go at implementing that? If so, did you have any success?

[cassidyjames]

@ChildishGiant I've not been able to look into this yet.
