Really interactive tests (beyond the level of simulated keystrokes or
delays) is really hard to test robustly.  Certainly what we've got at
the moment doesn't cut the mustard.  I had a quick look a while ago for
something that might be more robust but didn't see anything that looked
like it would work out of the box, and I certainly don't think any of us
are going to be doing it from scratch.
