FWIW, I've developed a minimal ``sanity check'' type of procedure to
test that a freshly built Emacs doesn't have any grave bugs in its GUI
features:

 . click menu bar, make sure menus open and tooltip help for menu
   items pops up and down;

 . move mouse pointer above tool-bar buttons, make sure they sense the
   mouse and that tooltip help pops up and down;

 . click File->Open File and File-Open Directory, make sure the file
   and directory selectors pop up;

 . same with tool-bar Open File and Open Directory buttons;

 . move mouse pointer above mode line, make sure it senses the mouse
   and that tooltip help pops up and down;

 . click mouse-3 in the text area, make sure context menu pops up and
   down;

 . click mouse-3 on the mode line where the mode name is displayed,
   make sure the minor mode menu pops up;

 . press S-mouse-1, make sure the font selector pops up;

 . click Help->Read the Emacs manual, and make sure that mouse
   highlight on menu items and cross-references works
