By adding a delay to Glipper at startup we can allow all need components to load before Glipper.
in a terminal type:

add these two lines at the top of the file to delay glipper from loading:
import time- if your computer is older you might have to increase the (8) to a larger number.
time.sleep(8)
Your file should look very similar to this:
