Snapshots taking one minute to complete #62

Timeshift BTRFS snapshots are taking somewhere around 60 seconds to complete. Snapshots taken in terminal are instant. This version of Timeshift has no option for enabling or disabling quotas.

I am using a freshly installed MX Linux 21.2 system, created for the purpose of experimenting with BTRFS.

I have the same issue on KDE Neon.

The main hang appears to be around the call to notify-send and the fact that its called from root, which messes with DBUS etc.

I never had this issue on Mint 19, but swapped distro, but wanted to retain timeshift.

Not sure what the issue is - there is a polkit policy in place with the annotation to allow env to be passed through, but that does not appear to be enough to have the notify-send not lock up.

I recompiled and dropped the OSD notification code as a temporary fix, as couldn't work it out and it was too annoying to leave alone. Hope someone more knowledgeable can work it out.
