The flakiness is theoretically limited to Linux where we have to use xvfb-run in CI. Because the tests are ran on Linux via ctest we can more easily use CTest's built-in support for rerunning failed tests. We have yet to actually observe this flakiness after the other changes added in #2474 so it's possible the flakiness has been entirely addressed. While I was at it I de-duplicated some code for printing OpenGL information.
