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.

A packaged function would actually allow for an easier way out of the 
cargo cult, as one could centrally switch its implementation from 
show()+requestActivate() to show() alone and start monitor exactly what 
breaks after that, then investigate why.
