Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Version: 48.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

xdg-desktop-portal-gnome crashes a Gnome session at login when selecting a wayland
session while it runs fine in an Xorg session.

Other wayland desktops such as enlightenment and wayfire run fine but
Gtk applications starts with a lag of dozens of seconds, showing in logs
a similar error. As far as I can say it is this, but I wasn't able to
find more details.
