evince is slow to open

Ever since I updated debian, evince has been slow to startup - it takes about half a minute. Once it is open, it works fine, its just slow to open. It never used to take that long - it just used to take a couple of seconds. How can I get it going fast again? $ uname -a Linux mypc 5.10.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux I noticed that evince is hanging at the following line for about half a minute: $ strace evince ... eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 11 write(11, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 write(10, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 futex(0x562f5b8ffac0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 futex(0x562f5b909b30, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 futex(0x562f5b8bd158, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=11, revents=POLLIN}]) read(11, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8 poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout) # /dev/null 2>&1 && \ startx -- :0 vt1 # if using rxvt or urxvt immediately set the window to fullscreen if [[ $TERM == *"rxvt"* ]]; then # make the window with rxvt in the name the active window wmctrl -a rxvt # make the active window fullscreen wmctrl -r ":ACTIVE:" -b add,fullscreen fi **Edit: add some dbus information** $ ls -l ~/.dbus/session-bus/ total 28 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 465 Nov 8 06:23 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-0 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 465 Nov 6 14:11 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 476 Apr 24 2017 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-10 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 465 Jun 5 2017 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-100 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 476 Apr 7 2017 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-11 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 465 Nov 6 14:37 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-2 -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 463 May 6 2016 c984eb16cbd294a01d56c2ac523f7100-3 $ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS # empty!
