Logging in... takes ~5 seconds

Can you run ReGreet with -l debug and upload the logs? That way you'll get debug logs as well.

I am experiencing the same issue. Here's my latest log regreet.log.

So, the reason for this (as far as I can tell) is that ReGreet simply does not terminate at all when getting a successful response from greetd, instead it just waits for greetd to kill it, which happens to take exactly 5 seconds.

This should be easy enough to fix - how about we move the "Logging in..." message before sending a session start to greetd and then exiting the process with code 0?

Now, it might be a good idea to also adjust the cache-saving behaviour, since technically it is currently a race condition to do tasks after receiving a successful response from greetd. We could maybe save it before asking greetd to start the session and then restore the old values in case something goes wrong.

I could implement this tomorrow or so.

Thanks for the diagnosis! Feel free to make a PR if you want to, else I'll try to do it when I get time.
