Yes. Though we should stive to use it only when the test actually requires 
focus. Running tests locally with windows that steal focus unnecessarily is a 
bit annoying. Of course these things are typically cargo-culled, which is how 
we probably ended up with the current state of every test requesting activation 
explicitly after show.
