Hi,
In today's Syu marco was updated.
Here is the list of packages upgraded.
alsa-lib-1.2.9-1 alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.9-1 aom-3.6.1-1
at-spi2-core-2.48.2-1 atril-1.26.1-1 engrampa-1.26.1-1
firefox-113.0.1-1 gawk-5.2.2-1 gpgme-1.20.0-3
gtk-update-icon-cache-1:4.10.3-2 gtk4-1:4.10.3-2
harfbuzz-7.3.0-1 harfbuzz-icu-7.3.0-1 libbpf-1.2.0-1
libnghttp2-1.53.0-1 linux-6.3.1.arch2-1
linux-headers-6.3.1.arch2-1 luajit-2.1.0.beta3.r471.g224129a8-1
marco-1.26.2-1 mate-panel-1.26.3-1 mate-terminal-1.26.1-1
thunderbird-102.11.0-1 tpm2-tss-4.0.1-1 tracker3-3.5.2-1
My Mate DE is started from .bash_profile.
Since the update there is a 30 second lag from the moment startx is executed to the time the DE renders the desktop and panel. (during this lag the mouse pointer is visible on the blank screen.
Downgrading marco restores the normal behavior (~2-3 seconds to render the DE).
I am debating a bug report but first I would like to troubleshoot more. Any recommendations?

30s sounds like 25s sounds like a dbus timeout.
There's https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285692 but your version is claimed to be fixed and it would not help to downgrade marco.
startx
See the last link below and also post your xinitrc.

Hi,
.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi
if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
xset s off
exec mate-session
I do see a journal timeout warning:
May 13 08:24:10 strix mate-session[897]: WARNING: Application 'marco.desktop' failed to register before timeout

The xinitrc is fine
According to the bug that loqs linked, the problem isn't the version of marco, but the compiler toolchain and apparently for some reason libsm not being linked, https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-se … issues/147
So proabably a packaging bug, look out for an udpate.
