After login i expected my autostart apps to immediately start, but they seem to only start after about 90s.
I tried googling but all i see is people who want to delay apps in startup... i was looking for the opposite.
I use guake (dropdown terminal) and sometimes want to hit that imediately after login, but i have to wait for autostart to kick in.
This has been like this a long time and im not even sure if its by design, but i wonder if there is a way to run it immediately (i tried with systemd but i guess for X11 apps that is not appropriate either). This behaves the same across my multiple machines... previous and current desktops and laptops and i never took the time to look into it because i can simply start the app on login and it does work immediately... but when i leave it to autostart its delayed. Today i tried figuring it out and i totally failed to even figure out how to debug this...
Also tried with diff app (gedit) just to see if it was something the app was doing but it behaves the same and looking at top you clearly see that they are not running... and then (90s later) they are started.
