    Anyway, if we ever want to have a regression testing suite for Emacs,
    this job is hardly avoidable.

This job is unavoidable if we want to have a regression test suite
that covers the problems limited to graphical terminals.  I am not
sure that goal is worth this much effort.  A regression test suite
which doesn't cover the problems limited to graphical terminals could
nonetheless be quite useful.
