For some reason the property panel is very slow and most of the time doesn't work at all. I've tried to modify some of the properties in the xml file but wasn't able to do it all. Is there another way to alter these characteristics?

A few people have had problems with being unable to edit the properties of things, including myself. The common answer that seems to work is to install API 18 in the SDK manager and use that in the layout editor. Here are a few forum links that might help with your problem.

Hopefully one of those will help you, if I have understood your problem correctly.
Paul :)
