This helps dammak, so he must reply before we try to
help more.

But David also answered my questions:

Calling it is as important as not calling it. Reach
for these goals:

 - Just Another Library. Under test, the GUI minimizes
       side-effects, including minimal popping-up
       of windows

 - Treat I/O Like a Spigot. When you want to see
       a window in a specific state, such as just
       after a test case, you should be able 
       to raise that window with very little 
       thinking or tweaking. Given reveal(aWin),
       what can we put inside reveal that displays
       _any_ window? For Qt, I might borrow the 
       source of the exec() method and replicate 
       it. Or I might marshall aWin into another
       process space, and feed it to a QApplication
       in there, if that works.

Any I/O port in a storm!
