I have just recently installed TW. And I noticed that many of my apps are starting very slow (and I mean like sometimes they take like an entire minute to launch).
Specifically, I noticed this most with Firefox and Thunar. So I started these apps in the terminal to find out if they were spitting out any errors and they both hang on an error:
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
I’ve done my googling and the solution to this is all over the place. There are some that say that there’s a package you need to install, some posts here on the forum talk about xhost, another said to delete the .Xauthority file (Which I did, but it did not work), and several other “solutions.”
I looked in .xession-errors, and I’m getting some xlib errors. What follows is just some of them.

I also noticed when I tried to launch LibreOffice, I got some dbus errors in addition to the errors above:
org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName: object_path= /org/freedesktop/DBus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
ror:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms)
Again, these are just some of the errors surrounding the Authorization required lines. If needbe I can post the full logs.
I have no idea how to solve this. Like I said, the “solutions” are all over the place.
Any help would be mightily appreciated.
