Had Zenmap been crashing or only appearing to stall? The first time you
start it, it can take a long time (several minutes) for the font cache
to be initialized. After that it will be faster.

Several minutes?  Ouch!  Is this true with the latest Mac OS X and
modern machines?  If so, and there isn't any way to really solve it,
maybe we should bring back the splash screen or think of some other
approach to let users know that it is loading and not frozen/crashed.
