One of the tests (always the same) is still being flaky

[Aire-One]

@Aire-One one of the tests (always the same) is still being flaky: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/actions/runs/18339824060/job/52242235689?pr=3995#step:27:304

if it's still causing problems - mb we could restart it several times. i think test framework itself doesn't have any options like that, but mb it could be just some sort of iteration in the body of the test itself

I'll not be able to put time on this this week. So any help is welcome.

@denisoster this is a different problem. It is already reported to lgi at lgi-devs/lgi#346 and should be fixed by upstream with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/4792. As explained to you in #4022 (comment), you can bypass the issue by editing the lgi code.
