Recently the startup speed of LibreOffice Calc (ver 7.4) went from 20 seconds to ~ 60seconds, even with an empty sheet. Other programs like Gnumeric start up in 2 seconds.
I already tried clearing the recent file history, starting in safe mode, renaming ~/.config/libreoffice/4 , disconnecting network, tried ver 7.5.3-1 without improvement.
Starting Writer is also just as slow.
I am using ArcoLinux, and pulled the standard LibreOffice-still (and tried -fresh) packages from the repository.

Steps to reproduce:
- Start computer
- Start LibreOffice Calc
This task depends upon

Two things:
1. you are not using Archlinux, please use the Arcolinux bugtracker
2. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=224787 could help

Solved the problem from the ArcoLinux Discord server comments today, remove:
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

LibreOffice starts within a few seconds now.

PS. Thanks,
1. Couldn't find a specific bugtracker for arcolinux.
2. That dbus solution brought the load time down to 45s (from ~60s).
