Strange behaviour with GTK_USE_PORTAL=1, affects firefox, evince and gnome-desktop

[astrojhgu]

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
When xdg.portal.gtkUsePortal=true is set, following abnormal behaviors happen:

1. gnome desktop login time period becomes much longer (~30s on my x1 yoga)
2. In gnome environment, Firefox failed to launch a file chooser when I press ctrl+O and complains

no such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.filechooser” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

3. Similar behavior happens in evince (still in gnome environment).

As to the plasma desktop, all are OK.
For gnome (wayland), it still takes a long period of time (~30s) between I enter the password and the gnome desktop is fully ready, but the filechooser can launch normally after that.

If I remove the gtkUsePortal setting, everything becomes OK.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. in configuration.nix, add xdg.portal.gtkUsePortal=true;
2. sudo nixos-rebuild boot
3. reboot
4. login to gnome-xorg.

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

1. gnome desktop should be launch in a short period time (say 5~10 s)
2. the file chooser should be launched normally.

This sounds like #156830 all over again

I'm getting this with sway too

[SuperSamus]

I think that this can now be closed, since xdg.portal.gtkUsePortal has been removed.
