Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome Version: 44.2-4 Severity: normal After upgrading from Bookworm to testing some applications are taking too long to launch. This happens in applications such as evince, eog, thunderbird.
The delay comes from a timeout during the program start-up. For instance, evince seems to timeout in the poll line: futex(0x55f4aef70878, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 10 write(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 futex(0x55f4aef764f0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) Other programs like xpdf or ristretto do not show the same behaviour. After some digging, it seems that the issue is related to the applications using xdg-desktop-portal-gnome. After uninstalling it, the problem is solved. I am using Debian testing, kernel 6.7.0.
