I can't reproduce the issue. I tried to install a sid system from
scratch with the gnome desktop. xbrlapi does get started, but no hanging
issue.

Does that xbrlapi process belong to the root user or your user?

Do you have the brltty package installed?

Could you redirect std output and error output of the xbrlapi command to
some file so we get more information? Adding the -v option might also be
useful.
