The debounce timer added for flicker prevention was armed from the IPC listener thread via Glib::signal_timeout().connect(), while its timeout lambda and the m_updatePending flag ran on the GTK main thread — an unsynchronized cross-thread data race on GLib timer/main-loop state. Additionally ~Workspaces() never disconnected the timer, so a pending timeout could fire on a freed 'this' (use-after-free). Restore the pre-refactor threading model: onEvent now only mutates state under m_mutex on the IPC thread and calls dp.emit() (Glib::Dispatcher is thread-safe). The debounce timer is owned entirely by the main-thread update() path, which arms/re-arms it on each dispatch and coalesces bursts into a single refresh. ~Workspaces() disconnects the timer (guarded) so none outlives the object. Debounce behavior is preserved.
