gnome-screenshot taking forever to load

Hi! so recently after an arch update I noticed that the gnome-screenshot was taking forever to launch.

That too, not just when pressing the key binds (PrintScreen, Ctrl-Shift-PrtScr and such), but also when launching the program from the terminal.

Here's the output of gnome-screenshot in the terminal:

~ % gnome-screenshot

(gnome-screenshot:2829): Handy-WARNING **: 13:06:24.842: Using GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme together with HdyStyleManager is unsupported. Please use HdyStyleManager:color-scheme instead.

And only after about 10-15 seconds does the screenshot utility launch - it works normally though.

( I'm using Cinnammon as the DE. )

Re: gnome-screenshot taking forever to load

Hi,
What do you mean by foreever? Do you see the screen after a while? Anything in the log?
If nothing appears you can start by executing it, taking the pid and using strace -p <PID>.
