After porting thunar to gtk3, when in daemon mode (thunar --daemon) a delay of 8 sec. on logout can be observed. The delay seems to comes from the usage of g_application_hold(). If g_application_release() is executed before logout, the delay disappears. Possibly this is a bug in gtk3 .. however till now I was not able to reproduce it on a simple application. For now the bug got fixed by using "g_unix_signal_add" in order to trigger on SIGHUP. The handler than calls g_application_release() . However that's not a very clean solution, since it works for unix-only ( actually it would be nice to not handle any system-signals at all ) The following investigations could be done: - slowly minimize thunar and check on each step if the bug disappears, in order to create a minimal setup on which the bug occurs .. so we could clearly name the reason. - check if we could possibly subscribe to a dbus-signal instead of a system-signal (see discussion on github ) in order to trigger a handler on logout Here the links to the old github-bug and the pull-request https://github.com/andreldm/thunar/issues/30 https://github.com/andreldm/thunar/pull/42
