[issue8716] test_tk/test_tkk_guionly fails on OS X if run from buildbot slave daemon -- crashes Python

Whether DISPLAY is set or not isn't relevant.  What's relevant is whether I'm logged in as the GUI user.  In this example, I'm logging in through ssh using the same user name that is currently logged in as the main GUI user.

   $ ssh xxxx
   $ echo $DISPLAY

   $ /usr/local/bin/python3.2 -m test -u gui test_ttk_guionly
   [1/1] test_ttk_guionly
   1 test OK. 

It's really not worth trying to fix the tests.  The buildbot configuration is incorrect.
