Flaky tests are starting to get real annoying...

Same problems here. Metacity 2.23.21, compiled myself.

The last two are really nasty. Take a look at ddraw/tests/visual.c:2624.
It makes a kind of "basic assurance test" whether it might be going to
work. If this basic test fails, the whole visual test is skipped. The
test passes only on my machine if it already fails the sanity check,
otherwise I get some failures. Usually rerunning make test after a
failed visual test runs into a sanity check failure. [That is on Intel
945 graphics hardware]

I don't rember these, but I most test runs I did were around 1.0, and
these might have changed.

Yes, I do, see above.
