I noticed your Gentoo builders running gui tests some years ago.  When I 
re-checked perhaps a year ago, they either were not running or seem to 
have skipped test_idle, maybe the former.

Rechecking now, on Gentoo

test_idle appears and passed on these 3.6 and 3.7 pages
http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/82/builds/414/steps/5/logs/stdio

Neither Firefox nor Edge can find 'test_idle' on these 3.x pages
http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/103/builds/1149/steps/5/logs/stdio
http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/99/builds/1130/steps/4/logs/stdio

test_tk appears on 1130 but not 1149

For your 8.1 bot: test_idle passed for 3.7
http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/133/builds/339/steps/3/logs/stdio

but does is not found on this 3.x page (neither is 'test_tk')
http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/12/builds/991/steps/3/logs/stdio

Both Appveyor and my machine run test_idle when running the full 3.x 
test suite.
