I'm not sure if it was necessary or not, but I killed all my 
dnfdragora-updater processes and also commented out the contents of 
/etc/xdg/autostart/org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop so that 
dnfdragora-updater dies if it tries to run

That's for the xfce spin of Fedora 31...

Now all I have to do is remember to re-enable it after the bug is fixed 
(;-))
