openQA test in scenario sle-12-SP3-Server-DVD-aarch64-gnome@aarch64 fails in

The function ensure_unlocked_desktop is unable to open run command prompt (alt-f2). After 10 tries it makes the module fails.

H1 It is reproducible.
H1.1 It is reproducible by openQA. VERIFIED BY E1-1
H1.2 It is repdoducible manually.
H2 It only happens on aarch64 VERIFIED BY E2-1

E1.1-1 clone the job and see if it happens again
R1.1-1 https://openqa.suse.de/tests/858647#step/consoletest_finish/25

R1.2-1 Clone the job in a local openQA instance with spapshots, start qemu manually from it and try to reproduce it manually.
R1.2-1 not yet

E2-1 Look for jobs on other architectures with the same failure.

clearly gnome crashes when trying to call the desktop runner after pressing "alt-f2" -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/857313#step/consoletest_finish/17 shows the display manager after automatic restart. That is why ensure_unlocked_desktop gets confused.

But also ensure_unlocked_desktop can be improved to not only look for the desktop runner but also for the locked screen and abort checks early.

I checked the code but I don't think we should try to make the detection more "intelligent" because that will also make the code more complicated. Also, the problem we hit here (gnome crashes) is catched and very likely to come back in exactly the same way.
