You'll get even more successes if you run no window manager at all an
an empty X resource database, too. Do
X :0 & # Start X server
xrdb -display :0 -load /dev/null # Empty resources
setenv DISPLAY :0 # For benefit of Tk
make test # Let 'er rip.
As for the tests that fail, ignoring them hasn't caused me any
problems ... yet.
