Package: gapless
Version: 4.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Hi,
gapless uses a bit of an arcane way to show the toplevel which
makes it fail to send the proper startup-id. This causes launch
splash timeouts on mobile making it seem that the app takes
longer to start as it actually does.
A patch is attached and upstream at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/neithern/g4music/-/merge_requests/55
Cheers,
-- Guido

+Subject: application: Present window from activate
+
+If the window is spawned from open the activation token is 0 and thus
+rejected from the compositor. This leads e.g. to the launch splash in
+Phosh timing out and making gapless look slow to start up.
+
+Creating the window from activate fixes this.
