compiz was previously installed on the ubuntu1604 test image, and it has not been included in the ubuntu1804-test docker image.
Turns out, installing and calling compiz resolves some of the unexplained failures in mochitest-browser-chrome, while causing some other failures.
A majority of the new failures are failures with sheriff annotation on them, with either constant activity or new bug IDs.

One of the issue with installing compiz is that pulseaudio seems to not like the way it is started, in
- test-linux.sh; then
- desktop_unittest.py
Leading to a bunch of failures in this push:

I'd say don't install compiz. It's not a realistic setup anymore. If that breaks some tests, the tests should be fixed. Possibly disabled until they are fixed.

Turns out compiz is incompatible with GNOME, but some people have a workaround like so:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1135793/ubuntu-18-04-gnome-compiz-crash
sudo apt purge gnome-panel gnome-session-flashback compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt purge $(dpkg -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}')
reboot
sudo apt install gnome-panel gnome-session-flashback compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugin
Now, not sure if this works when I tried to do this on my local virtualbox (virtualbox triggers a kernel panic on macosx1015 frequently).

I'd say don't install compiz. It's not a realistic setup anymore. If that breaks some tests, the tests should be fixed. Possibly disabled until they are fixed.
After spending the good part of this week debugging an issue with how GNOME interacts with marionette, this is a tempting solution even if it may not be a realistic setup.
ubuntu1804 with compiz:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&group_state=expanded&selectedJob=279931126&revision=a5c059e5668e3db07165855f67038f3c8a07866d
ubuntu1804 without compiz:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&group_state=expanded&selectedJob=279931126&revision=e8f1e9e290c6639887b4b8d0a1c4253a5f0d612e
See bug 1600391 for the issues with window.resizeTo and window.moveTo being more async than expected on ubuntu1804. By installing compiz I'm attempting to reproduce the same testing environment as we currently have on ubuntu1604 as per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1601457#c6.
Why is compiz no longer a realistic setup? Has it lost favor with the userbase, or is it slowly being phased out? If such is the case, then I would agree that relying on this fix just kicks the can down to ubuntu 20.04 or later.

I'm not even sure compiz ever was the default on Ubuntu, but even if it were, it's not the case anymore. Ubuntu users are on GNOME, with mutter/gnome-shell. So testing compiz is very much out of sync with what users have.

Just FYI, I do see a reference to compiz in the test-linux.sh script here:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/taskcluster/scripts/tester/test-linux.sh#183
So it is being started on current ubuntu1604 environment, I assume, and the reason for the no top bar, no dock environment (unless I'm horribly mistaken).
On the other hand I understand this fact doesn't change that we should target the most common configuration, which would be running GNOME if ubuntu1804.
