On my Ubuntu 24 system, the GIO `network-changed` signal is not sent when I only toggle the "metered connection" flag in network settings (and there's no signal specifically for low-data mode). The new value is only picked up when the connection changes by coming offline or going online.

The headful test run passed on Windows. While doing manual testing of other settings (since the notification logic has changed), I discovered a reproducible crash on Windows 11:

1. Run the manual `PlatformPreferencesChangedTest` app (or any other JavaFX app)
2. Toggle Settings --> Accessibility --> Visual effects --> Animation effects

JavaFX will crash, likely in response to the notification of a change in animation effect.
