Bug Description
The overlay scrollbars module seems to prevent xfsettingsd from daemonizing properly and thus affect the D-Bus communication. This results in a delayed execution of keyboard shortcuts pressed by the user within the first ~10 seconds after session login. There is no noticeable delay when running xfsettingsd in non-daemon mode (--no-daemon).
Small test case (overlay scrollbars installed and activated):
$ xfsettingsd --replace
--> delay
$ LIBOVERLAY_
--> no delay
