Since I'm not a committer I don't have enough access rights to see that

with Xvnc only, after many attempts, all tests pass :)

probably it's a timeout problem as you said; that's why I tried to
increase the timeout, but then the tests with the expected hardcoded
timeout fail; I'll try to provide a patch so that those tests save the
current timeout, set it to 5 seconds, and then reset it.
