upowerd was running under systemd. I tried stopping and disabling 
upower but it didn't make an appreciable difference.

When I press the save button it stays pressed and the wxt window 
becomes unresponsive -- the other buttons won't work and the window 
doesn't repaint itself if obscured. Then eventually the file 
dialog appears. Quite peculiar.
