Hello Benoit and thank very much for your attention,
I send you a compressed file named Minisini containing 6 compilations of 
packages + 6 sources of my 3 small programs, those of which I am ashamed 
of less :)
Thanks for the explanation.
I precise you that 15 second is the load time displayed by the mouse 
pointer out of the form, but within the form, the program works immediately.
Remaking the programs for you, I noted that the program “Date exchange” 
in GTK version,  the hierarchy tab not work, while QT is ok.

I can not believe that you do not know the Dash; it is the system by 
which Unity find all that is in the computer and online, it is activated 
from the first button on top the launcher, the one with the Ubuntu icon. 
Normally from there we launch applications that are not fixed on the 
launcher. :)
Regards
Gianluigi
