892511 - rewrite test_{title,window}.xul to not rely on shared setTimeout between windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

This patch came up in the context of bug 715376, but is independent and complicated
enough that it's worth splitting into its own bug.

The problem here is that the test assumes that calling SimpleTest.executeSoon() (which
calls setTimeout) will fire all the events queued up by the testDynamic() calls.  If any
of the iframes have separate event queues, events in those queues are not guaranteed to
have fired by the time the owning window executes the executeSoon() timeout.  So we have
to make each test iframe spin its own event queue before starting the next test.

This is really only relevant in the context of bug 715376 (or similar) being landed, but
I think we might as well land this in the interim.
