### Summary In the logs for `linux` platform tests, there is a section where the `test-linux.sh` script is forced to sleep for 15 seconds. Example from [linux64](https://taskcluster-artifacts.net/GuOOAEtUS2S1DI9oxWIMQQ/0/public/logs/live_backing.log): ``` [task 2019-04-29T16:56:11.387Z] if $NEED_WINDOW_MANAGER; then [task 2019-04-29T16:56:11.387Z] # This is read by xsession to select the window manager [task 2019-04-29T16:56:11.388Z] echo DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu > $HOME/.xsessionrc [task 2019-04-29T16:56:11.389Z] [task 2019-04-29T16:56:11.389Z] # note that doing anything with this display before running Xsession will cause sadness (like, [task 2019-04-29T16:56:11.389Z] # crashes in compiz).
