+This test launches gui applications (tools, demos and prominent examples),
+keeps them running a while (grabbing their top level from the window manager)
+and sends them a Close event via window manager.
+
+It checks that they do not crash nor produce unexpected error output.
+
+Note: Do not play with the machine while it is running as otherwise
+the top-level find algorithm might get confused (especially on Windows).
+
+Environment variables are checked to turned off some tests (see code).
+
+It is currently implemented for X11 (Skips unless DISPLAY is set) and
+Windows, pending an implementation of the WindowManager class and deployment
+on the other platforms.
