fails to build from source in PPA due to test failure

[Alistair Buxton]

To reproduce, upload unmodified libdbusmenu to a PPA:

apt-get source libdbusmenu
cd libdbusmenu*
dch -i
--
libdbusmenu (12.10.3+13.10.20130913-0ubuntu2.1) saucy; urgency=low

  * Bump version for PPA test.

--
debuild -S -sd
cd ..
dput ppa:a-j-buxton/test *.changes

Now wait 9 hours, and it will fail to build: FAIL: test-glib-events

Build log:

I cannot reproduce this bug when building locally with pbuilder - all the tests pass.
