I have a newly installed F30, XFCE system.
google-earth-pro will run from a terminal (user fred) but has a 50 second
startup and closedown time.
Tests have shown that su - fred and then running google-earth-pro
avoids the delay.
env shows greatly fewer environmental variables are set in the "su - fred"
case.
This led to an alternative approach of un-setting some environmental variables.
(without the "su - fred" step)
unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR; unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS; google-earth-pro
The delay is no longer present and google-earth-pro appears to run OK.
Has anyone any idea what is going on here?
How important are those environmental variables?
