[issue8716] test_tk fails on OS X if run from buildbot slave daemon -- crashes Python

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I just ran into this while trying to run the test suite with -uall while sshed into an OSX machine and running a non-framework build.  This makes it kind of hard to run the full test suite.

Is there some way to detect that we don't have access to the window server and skip the test?  It's going to fail anyway, so even once the crash bug is fixed skipping the test when we don't have access to the window server is the right thing to do.
