Dunno, but I wouldn't hold my breath.. Personally, I'd like to see improvements in startup time, but I'm less than hopeful. This, however is nice to see:

In addition to a number of bug fixes, GNOME Panel has fixed a long outstanding bug in that when you change your screen resolution, applets will no longer randomly change position.
Finally!

Next version we want to have dconf instead of gconf (hackfest has been planned). It is much *much* faster than gconf for reading (dunno about writing). As that is very important part of startup time, that part will actually improve.

If people want to help out during the hackfest (attend or do so remotely, see for details http://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/GSettings2010
