Description
### Tested versions
- Reproducible with Godot 4.4-dev7,and 4.3-stable
### System information
Debian 12.9 minimal install with gnome-core installed. Godot Engine v4.4.dev7.official.46c8f8c5c - OpenGL API 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 22.3.6 - Compatibility - Using Device: VMware, Inc. - SVGA3D; build: RELEASE; LLVM
### Issue description
Godot starts without error. Version Control Metadata (and other selections within a project, and sometimes time passing) cause dialog boxes to become unresponsive. In this state the main application must often be killed (SIGTERM) to exit. No error is displayed.
### Steps to reproduce
The following actions always cause the behavior:
Install fresh minimal Debian 12.9 without desktop manager or Gnome:
```
[ ] Debian desktop environment
[ ] GNOME
...
[*] Standard system utilities
```
... then `sudo apt install gnome-core`
Reboot to enable GUI, Login, Install Godot, Start Godot.
Within the **Create new project**, select **Version Control Metadata**, select radio box **None**, experience popup dialog unresponsive.
- Not reproducible on full desktop install.
- Not reproducible with LXDE windows manager.
- Not reproducible with Plasma windows manager.
- Reproducible on Debian 11.11 with minimal install and gnome-core installed, different actions required to reproduce: Within the **Create new project**, select **Version Control Metadata**, select radio box **None**, select **Create and Edit**, experience popup dialog unresponsive.
This may be a Debian specific problem with gnome-core, a reliance on something becoming deprecated in gnome-core, or other.
All tests under VirtualBox 7.0.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the unresponsive popup from Create new project after selecting Version Control Metadata and the None radio box on Debian 12.9 with only gnome-core installed. Compare the behavior with a full desktop install and other window managers, then identify the environmental difference; done means these dialogs remain responsive in the reported setup without regressing the other tested environments.
