[SOLVED]: Wayfire: Where To Store Modified .desktop-File?

To avoid long delay on startup of some applications i start wayfire by

 dbus-run-session 

To start wayfire from gdm or lightdm wayfire-git aur contains /usr/share/wayland-sessions/wayland.desktop. Where should i place the wayfire.desktop with edited exec-line?

The display managers in question should properly setup the user bus so that this adjustment shouldn't be necessary when you use one of the display managers.

I run wayfire from gdm and have to wait > 25 sec for several applications (thunar, wcm, rhythmbox ...) if the desktop-file is not modified.

I think you might be able to solve that 20 second hang with similar commands like for sway? https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#gtk … s-to-start
dbus-run-session should really be unnecessary when systemd already starts the session.

@propagandy: thanks for your hint. Adding

importenv = systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY
dbusupdate = hash dbus-update-activation-environment 2>/dev/null && dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY

to autostart-section of wayfire.ini solved it. Thunar, rhythmbox, wcm-git and evolution are starting immediately.

Re: [SOLVED]: Wayfire: Where To Store Modified .desktop-File?

I had the long delay on startup of thunar again. in the sample wayfire ini i found in the [autostart] section

# XDG desktop portal
# Needed by some GTK applications
portal = /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal

adding this to my config does not help.
