protect against Tk not having _default_root attr during event loop

[IanButterworth]

I don't understand why this segfault is happening after the test suite finishes, but this should protect against it?

Unfortunately I can't reproduce this segfault locally, but will check this works

[IanButterworth]

Still segfaults but differently

[stevengj]

Why is the gui even being initialized during the test suite? We set the backend to Agg…

[IanButterworth]

We run our test suite with xvfb because it also includes GLMakie plots. Could it be that?

[IanButterworth]

I should add that this didn't happen with PyPlot.jl
