Would it be feasible to use headless mode for mochitests (or reftests,
etc. etc.)?  I know there are probably some mochitests which care
about the cases you mention above (e.g. fullscreen), but if that could
be taken care of in the headless code itself or we could annotate the
tests somehow, it would be a huge boon for running mochitests locally,
or even in parallel.  (We already have some support for running
reftests/crashtests in parallel.)
