 I'm afraid you're right, I can't reproduce this and I don't see anything
wrong in the rather simple code of this test.

 FWIW I think the best is to run the GUI tests in an isolated VM, e.g. I do
it by ssh-ing into my lmi VM and launching the test from ssh session. Under
X it should be also possible to use Xnest to run it on its own isolated
display. Or maybe just open a second (real) X session on a different VT and
run it there (but I haven't tried this).

 I ran it 20 times and it never failed...
