I'm not sure I agree. The testbot isn't the only environment where people possibly run the tests, and someone new to the entire user32 thing might find environment-induced test failures a bug and not a feature.

That said, it would be sensible to apply different rules to d3d and user32. In d3d, handling focus loss/gain is only a relatively small part, whereas it is pretty central to user32.
