[PATCH 2/2] user32/tests: Skip a test to avoid wineserver desktop manager bug.

[Qian Hong]

Hello,

There are three reasons to introduce this patch:

1.
The original motivation of test_foregroundwindow() is to test 
OpenInputDesktop() and SwitchDesktop(), especially for testing the 
latter. However, according to recently discussion in wine-devel [1], it 
is imposible to implement SwitchDesktop() in Wine correctly, so this 
test doesn't make too much sense, especially after "user32: Implement 
OpenInputDesktop." [2] has been committed.

2.
Currently, this patch causes randomly failures on some Windows versions, 
mostly like related to sleeping time, which can't be reproduced when run 
the test standalonely [3]. It is possible to fix the failures by 
submitting a patch which increase sleeping time, but it doesn't make too 
much sense according to point 1.

3.
This patch discovered a wineserver bug: wineserver desktop manager 
doesn't count thread as user, it just count process as user.
To fix this bug, we have to modify some wineserver code, but I haven't 
found any real world app affects by this bug yet, so it sounds not worth 
to do the trouble.

To solve 1, 2 and 3, I'd like to kill my original test code... :)
