The discussion was continued on IRC (#classpath), and here is what I 
remember.
We wanted to add at least 2 features to the mauve test-runner.
a) a keyword for all tests that need a DISPLAY
b) a way to 'redirect' graphics output away from the users screen.  There is 
a standard technology for that, I don't remember its name.  A virtual 
buffer.

With that in place you have to either explicitly enable GUI tests; or they 
would automatically detect and use the virtual framebuffer.

With Robot a screenCapture can be made and then we need a 'simple' framework 
to have various visual check()  methods on Image objects.  Things like 
'exact match' / 'tint match' / 'size match' should prove quite usefull.
