This looks like gtk initialization failed issue instead, xhost + and check the test folder script for anything missing

Yes, it is better after doing that - however, some messages persist:

qemu-system-x86_64: warning: dbind: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-zGkyTiPzBJ: Connection refused
pulseaudio: Wrong context state
pulseaudio: Reason: Access denied
pulseaudio: Failed to initialize PA contextaudio: Could not init `pa' audio driver

Are they important?
