My first patch attempt - which is attached to the Redhat and FDO Bugzilla
bugs - added a retry loop around the original 100 ms timeout. The retry loop
did trigger, but never more than once in a row in my testing.

So possibly 200 ms would be a sufficient timeout, but as the wait_for() loop
terminates early on success I suggested a conservative value of 1000 ms.
