[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1010220: startup delay of some gtk apps

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
Version: 1.14.0-1

I experience long startup delays of some gtk apps, e.g. handbrake-gtk.
Apparently there are problems with a portal service:

% systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal.service
