Package: xdg-desktop-portal Followup-For: Bug #1018880 X-Debbugs-Cc: ix+...@tchow.com
Some additional information: this bug also triggers for me without X11 forwarding. I don't run a desktop environment or graphical login (login in text mode and then `startx` with fluxbox launched from .xinitrc); but I still have xdg-desktop-portal-gtk fail to launch with the log message 'cannot open display:'. Note that this adds a long delay to the startup of both inkscape and firefox as well; and that removing the xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk packages allows these programs to start normally. Perhaps something is spuriously requiring xdg-desktop-portal; since my system seems to function fine without it.
