Title:
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 44 causes delays in non-GNOME desktops
Status in xdg-desktop-portal package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Test Case
---------
- Install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 44.beta
- Log out, then log into a non-GNOME desktop like MATE
- Open an app that uses portals, like the Firefox Snap
- From the app, open the Open dialog
What Happens
------------
Nothing for 2 minutes or however long the service timeout takes.
After that initial timeout, the filechooser dialogs open like normal.
Other Info
----------
This is a regression compared to xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 43.
My understanding is that xdg-desktop-portal currently attempts to load the
portal backends in alphabetical order. By coincidence, this happens to do what
we would expect (gnome, then gtk, kde, lxqt, wlr).
It is expected that systems with multiple desktop environments installed will
have multiple portal backends installed. These backends should work in any of
the desktops. (For instance, maybe MATE users want to have the GTK 4.10 icon
view filechooser for their Flatpak/Snap web browser.)
