Fix automated test suite's "I run ..." step
It fails randomly by sikuli not finding GnomeRunDialog.png.
I suspect the reason is that active? in display_helper.rb isn’t
reliable — it’s supposed to only return true when virt-viewer is
shown. If it can return true even when that’s not the case, the
click we use to focus virt-viewer (in post_vm_start_hook in
common_steps.rb) may happen too early, so the focus isn’t on
virt-viewer. If “I run …” step is the first interaction (which often
is the case) that would result in the Alt+F2 key press being lost which
explains this bug.
A more reliable way would be to use xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to
get the focused window, and then make sure that the returned window id
is the one used by virt-viewer. Also wmctrl -i -a <window id> may be
a more reliable way to focus the window than with a sikuli click.
