On my install there are a few applications which when attempted to open they can take a while (about 20-30 seconds) before they show up. This happens when I either use a keyboard shortcut, using the menu and opening in a terminal.
When I tell the terminal to open the application it just holds on the next line until it opens up, it appears to mainly affect GTK based applications as Remmina, Thunar and Gedit have been the main culprits that I have noticed taking a while to open.
Here is an example image of when trying to launch through terminal how it just hangs on the next line with no output until it opens finally:

I had a look online and found mostly posts on Arch Forums and Reddit about the issue. It generally appears to suggest adding adding a dbus line of some variation to .xinitrc or .xsession which I have put down below but I have not had much luck (but I may be doing it wrong).
Code: Select all
dbus-update-activation-enviroment --systemd DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DISPLAY XAUTHORITY

On the last post suggested an incorrect .xinitrc file, mine only has the one line to start openbox but on all the other previous and current Debian & Arch installs I never had this issue before like this.
.xinitrc
Code: Select all
exec openbox-session
Would you guys know a good place to start looking to trouble shoot this? I am using Openbox on Debian 10 if that helps.
