here's what all that was caused by:
        ok( $win2->get_transient_for, $win );
needed to be:
        is( $win2->get_transient_for, $win );

tip for those of you developing tests with the perl test harnesses or
Test::More etc. error messages are confusing as hell and make no sense
whatsoever. unfortunately i often find that developing a test in line
with the code to be impossible for those reasons. here a two letter
type-o made Test::More think the world was coming to an end. 

there should be some small changes to the tests system to allow for
building and testing without a display at some point this weekend.
granted there's really nothing to test in such cases.

commited.
