https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294107



--- Description ---
xed 3.8.5 fails to launch with the following errors:

/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gi/module.py:50: Warning: cannot
register existing type 'GIRepository'
repository = Repository.get_default()
/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gi/module.py:50: Warning:
g_once_init_leave_pointer: assertion 'result != 0' failed
repository = Repository.get_default()
/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gi/module.py:50: Warning:
g_object_new_with_properties: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT
(object_type)' failed
repository = Repository.get_default()

No window appears. Process exits with code 1.

When launched via D-Bus with an existing stale registration, the error is:
"Failed to register: Timeout was reached"

After killing the stale instance, the GIRepository errors appear.

Affected packages (same versions in quarterly, latest, and ports):
* xed-3.8.5
* py311-pygobject-3.54.5_1
* gobject-introspection-1.84.0,1

Workarounds attempted (none successful):
* pkg install -f xed py311-pygobject gobject-introspection
* Rebuilding from ports
* XED_PLUGINS_PATH=/dev/null xed
* GI_TYPELIB_PATH="" xed --standalone
* PYTHONPATH="" GI_TYPELIB_PATH="" xed

System: FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE-p1, amd64
