Focusing windows during the test suite is fragile

Originally created by @intrigeri on #9330 (Redmine)

While testing 1.4~rc1:

    And I close Pidgin's account manager window                                                               # features/step_definitions/pidgin.rb:268
    Then Pidgin successfully connects to the "irc.oftc.net" account                                           # features/step_definitions/pidgin.rb:283
      Command failed: xdotool search --name 'Buddy List' windowactivate --sync
      error code: 1
