The test_capi and test_faulthandler ones are expected but kind of a
hassle on the desktop. There's an issue somewhere and I have a patch
to make those work nicer, but there's a few ways we can go about it.

On the buildbots those aren't a problem because we already remove
and/or have a script that closes the crash dialogs.
