Disabling portals for greeter user #88

Open ossimoi opened 1 month ago

When regreet starts, it activates xdg-desktop-portal via d-bus. I assume this comes from gtk4.

I've tried following env vars:

export GTK_USE_PORTAL=0
export GDK_DEBUG=no-portals
export GIO_USE_PORTALS=0

but none of em do the trick. FWIW export GTK_A11Y=none disables the accessibility bus just fine.

What is the correct way to get rid of portals for greeter user?

Why do you want to disable portals and what compositor are you using?

The greeter user does not need portals for anything and if something goes wrong in starting of a portal, the d-bus activation will delay the startup of greeter by 25 seconds.

This is yet again some forced non-sense from Gnome team.

I use cage for greeter and sway for main user.

I don't know how to do this, sorry.

Fix has been merged in gtk https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7116

Will test it once new release is out. While GDK_DEBUG can be set in regreet.toml, was wondering if it would make sense to make it default in ReGreet.
