Thanks. Maybe GApplication needs an improved warning there? Or in xdg
-app?

I'm making progress. The xdg-app now runs, though GSettings/DConf
doesn't seem to work, so the app's preferences are not saved. Does this
seem like anything I'm getting wrong in my use of xdg-app-builder? It
works when used normally in jhbuild.

$ xdg-app run io.github.murraycu.PrefixSuffix

** (prefixsuffix:2): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-PEhoQVzw0X: Connection refused
