Hi, thank you for your work on this!

I just installed Emote on my Ubuntu 21.10 laptop (so Wayland if relevant), and it looks great!

My one concern is when opening Emote either by my shortcut or from the terminal with the emote command, it takes about 2 seconds until the window opens.

The README.md suggests:

Emote runs in the background and automatically starts when you log in.

So is this expected? Is there any limitation that makes this open so slow? Can this be related to my computer? I have a fairly high-end developer-focused Dell XPS.

The only log I can provide immediately is when opening from the terminal:

(emote:12717): dbind-WARNING **: 11:04:32.457: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-aQHT5tmbfL: No such file or directory

(emote:12717): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:04:32.693: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:3779:23: 'font-feature-settings' is not a valid property name

I am happy to provide more information if needed. 🙂

This might be low-priority, and if there is nothing to do/there is an upstream blockage, feel free to close this issue.
