Test dialogs in CI unittest

By now several unit tests are not called in CI environment (CI=True) as they would block the GUI tread.

For these tests it would be an enhancement if such dialogs can be tested too, e.g. by connecting the accept/cancel buttons with a timed signal:

Is this CI specific? Wouldn’t they also block when executed locally?

Indeed, but his is what we expect for modal dialogs.
