i usually start i3 from a terminal when i start up my debian.
I recently upgraded to sid
and now when I start evince
there is a approximately 27 second delay after evince is started before it paints a window.
evince is version 40.4-2
Googling found me this bug report
which mentions that it happens with lots of gtk2 applications
which is appropriate bug.
interesting
the solutions mentioned there of
install appmenu-gtk2-module and reboot
did not work
neither did
dbus-launch evince file.pdf
nor did
dbus-launch --exit-with-session evince file.pdf
However, going to another window and starting xfce as boot up
then going back to my i3 window and evince starts up immediately.
Of course I have installed appmenu-gtk2 so that might have something to do with it as well.
So though i have solved my problem i have to start this background xfce to get it to work normally.
interesting bug. Any ideas?
