Subject: | Tests should specify the window position |
The window manager twm always asks the user to position a newly created window. Because of this fact the test suite of Prima becomes "interactive" when running under twm. While twm is a quite old-fashioned window manager which is probably rarely used in today's systems, it may be the default window manager in some situations --- for example, it's the default window manager when running a vncserver on freebsd, which is the situation on my smoker machines.
Best is to always specify the position of created toplevel windows. As a Tk developer I am in a similar situation; all my Tk test scripts have a line like:
$top->geometry('+1+1'); # for twm
