[SOLVED] Telegram-desktop takes 5 minutes to open

I'm on a laptop using the 6.1.38-1-lts kernel, I think this has been happening since my last kernel update but I can't be sure. If I open telegram-desktop from a terminal, while it opens the terminal prints:

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
QWidget::render: Cannot render with an inactive painter
qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed
qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed
qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed
qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed
qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed
qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed

Once it opens the app works fine, unless I try to open an image and then it hangs completely.
I'm using lightdm and BSPWM, with the proprietary Nvidia drivers and optimus-manager.
I don't know what logs would be relevant but I can paste whatever information is needed.

Remove xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, it's broken outside gnome.
There must be some dozen threads about this by now.

Re: [SOLVED] Telegram-desktop takes 5 minutes to open

Thanks! that solved it. I've never used GNOME so I don't know why I have that.
