Do android launcher apps affect other apps or not?

[Tazer]

I installed nova launcher and had updated some apps (facebook, viber, google+, and dropbox) some hours before installing it. I setup the launcher and it was working smoothly and fine, but then after some minutes it showed up a message that facebook is not responding, then after some minutes viber is not responding and then google+ and dropbox are not responding. at first I thought that only newly updated apps are not responding but they were, I don't know why this message Wes showing up. Any method that this message doesn't show up and doesn't interrupt me. for now I have deletd those apps.
