i usually start i3 from a terminal when i start up my debian. I recently 
upgraded to sid 
and now when I start evince 
there is a approximately 27 second delay after evince is started before it 
paints a window.
evince is version       40.4-2       

Googling found me this bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1852016

which mentions that it happens with lots of gtk2 applications
which is appropriate bug.
interesting the solutions mentioned there of
install appmenu-gtk2-module  and reboot
did not work 
neither did
dbus-launch evince file.pdf
nor did
dbus-launch --exit-with-session evince file.pdf
However, going to another window and starting xfce as boot up then going back 
to my i3 window and evince starts up immediately. 
Of course I have installed appmenu-gtk2 so that might have something to do with 
it as well.
So though i have solved my problem i have to start this background xfce to get 
it to work normally.
interesting bug. Any ideas?
