When running on a slow computer or with a slow connection, I have 
noticed a 5-10 second delay from the time the window opens until you 
actually see any objects in the window.  Is it possible that you closed 
the window before the objects (buttons) had a chance to download and 
display?  The delay is the result of the window opening and waiting for 
the content to download and appear just like browsing any other web 
page.  It is snappy when running over a direct connection (100 mps network).
