[issue24946] Tkinter tests that fail on linux in tiling window manager

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

Serhiy, Florian emailed this to me in response to my pydev post on Linux gui tests. I'll let you decide if you think anything needs to be done.

FWIW, those tests seem to fail when using a tiling window manager
(herbstluftwm):

They however run fine in floating mode, so I'm guessing this is just a
limitation of those tests.
