If I uninstall xdg-desktop-portal the performance does go back to what I was seeing on previous releases so that does seem to be the culprit.

This happens 100% of the time and was basically instant on previous versions (I've tried on 18.04, 19.04, and 19.10). I've tried explicitly unlocking my keyring given the secret error message below and I've verified gnome-terminal-server and dbus-daemon are both running. If I run gnome-terminal without dbus-launch it activates instantly so there's something about the route through dbus that is causing an issue. I get the following output from the dbus-launch invocation: # _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation dconf (DConfSettingsBackend) for ‘gsettings-backend’ # watch_fast: "/org/appmenu/gtk-module/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) # unwatch_fast: "/org/appmenu/gtk-module/" (active: 0, establishing: 1) # watch_established: "/org/appmenu/gtk-module/" (establishing: 0) # _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation gvfs (GDaemonVfs) for ‘gio-vfs’ # watch_fast: "/org/appmenu/gtk-module/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) # unwatch_fast: "/org/appmenu/gtk-module/" (active: 0, establishing: 1) # watch_established: "/org/appmenu/gtk-module/" (establishing: 0) # Failed to use specified server: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.87 was not provided by any .service files # Falling back to default server. # watch_fast: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (establishing: 0, active: 0) # unwatch_fast: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (active: 0, establishing: 1) # watch_established: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (establishing: 0) And I see the following in syslog during the launch (note the delay in timestamps): May 11 09:15:57 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] AppArmor D-Bus mediation is enabled May 11 09:15:57 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Activating service name='org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' requested by ':1.0' (uid=1000 pid=6298 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real " label="unconfined") May 11 09:15:57 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Successfully activated service 'org.gtk.vfs.Daemon' May 11 09:15:57 rfairfax-ubh org.gtk.vfs.Daemon[6310]: fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /run/user/1000/gvfs: Permission denied May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Activating service name='org.gnome.Terminal' requested by ':1.0' (uid=1000 pid=6298 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real " label="unconfined") May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.Terminal' May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop' requested by ':1.2' (uid=1000 pid=6313 comm="/usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server " label="unconfined") May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.portal.Documents' requested by ':1.3' (uid=1000 pid=6319 comm="/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal " label="unconfined") May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore' requested by ':1.4' (uid=1000 pid=6324 comm="/usr/libexec/xdg-document-portal " label="unconfined") May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore' May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh dbus-daemon[6297]: [session uid=1000 pid=6295] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.portal.Documents' May 11 09:15:58 rfairfax-ubh systemd[1]: run-user-1000-doc.mount: Succeeded.
