Funny thing is that as root - leafpad is quick - neither vlc or virtualbox allow running as root.

I did a su then leafpad  - sudo says no display.

Why would root work and not the home user id?

Is there a way to change the 25000 delay to 2000 ?

Any ideas on how to find the slowness in loading?

I have one laptop, upgraded from 15.2 to 15.3, where one application takes 20 seconds to start. I have not tested more applications. The delay appears in the log, related to xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.service.
