Description Lauro Moura 2023-11-28 09:28:13 PST 
For flatpak 22.08 (at-spi 2.44.1), our scripts used `xdg-dbus-proxy` to map the host at-spi socket to a flatpak unix socket, exposing it through `AT_SPI_BUS_ADDRESS https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238856

23.08 bumped it to 2.48.0 

AT-SPI 2.45.1 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/-/blob/main/NEWS#L146) added a change to the way AT-SPI parses the sockets, dropping the `unix:path=` prefix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/-/merge_requests/86/diffs#ebafb0020c2050364c61364b1b025d32b0907315_952_953

This seems to be the cause of some failures on the bots, including the EWS one.

Tentative patch incoming.
