Hi,

setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM doesn't seem to help (looks like the process 
hangs indefinitely on the first test).  Running Xvfb seems to get the 
tests started, but I get a warning

and all 5 tests immediately fail with a dbus-related error like the 
following:

Any ideas on how to continue?

cheers,
