rofi waits for some time before its window disappears when if the .desktop file contains DBusActivatable=true

[ashley-paul-12345]

Hi, i started having this "effect" since 1.7.9+wayland1; i know this is the x11 version but i was wondering if it has to do with the core code of rofi

If the .desktop file contains DBusActivatable=true, rofi doesn't close it's window right after i choose the app, but waits for like a sec until Dbus is launched and then its window disappears

setting DBusActivatable=false in the .desktop file or using DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/dev/null in rofi's keybind solves this delay, but i don't know if disabling dbus is a good idea

is it okay to have this here or should I open an issue in the wayland fork?

And if this is not an issue, can I make rofi close right after the launched?
without using DBusActivatable: false; in the config file

after some search, is this related? #670

no.

Some applications do not correctly report back that they launched, that causes rofi to wait (to see if the launch was successful) with a timeout (1.5s). You can disable DBusActivatable on drun in rofi.

See release notes: https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/releases/tag/1.7.8

thanks, that worked but, I was wondering if there are any plans to solve the delay without disabling dbus?

patch is welcome, I don't have time atm to look at it.
For me it also does not happen with 99% of the applications.
