After uninstalling it, the > problem is solved. Which desktop are you using? xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is the preferred portal backend for GNOME and you need a portal backend installed. There are important improvements we need in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 46 but this is blocked on getting GNOME Shell 46 into Unstable (and Testing) which we expect to happen soon after the 32-bit time_t transition is resolved.

Bug#1068130: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome cause slow start up time in some application
Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Version: 44.2-4
Severity: normal
After upgrading from Bookworm to testing some applications are taking
too long to launch. This happens in applications such as evince, eog,
thunderbird.
The delay comes from a timeout during the program start-up.
For instance, evince seems to timeout in the poll line:
futex(0x55f4aef70878, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 10
write(7, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
futex(0x55f4aef764f0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000)
Other programs like xpdf or ristretto do not show the same behaviour.
After some digging, it seems that the issue is related to the
applications using xdg-desktop-portal-gnome. After uninstalling it, the
problem is solved.
I am using Debian testing, kernel 6.7.0.
