New submission from Bill Janssen <bill.jans...@gmail.com>:

test_tk fails on OS X if test is run from a daemon process without the 
privilege to access the window server, say a buildbot slave without anyone 
logged in to the console.  The Tk support needs to check whether it has access 
rights to the window server before trying to access it.

Workaround is to log buildbot into the console of the OS X machine (which 
usually but not always works), or to run tests manually.
