Do you have evidence of this crash? The Journal messages you quoted are
about xdg-desktop-portal, and they indicate that xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
(not xdg-desktop-portal-gnome) took too long to start up (which is bad,
but is not a crash).
Please look at the systemd Journal with journalctl, preferably as a
privileged user (root or a member of the adm group), to get an overview
of what is happening at the time.
