I develop using screen.

Screen's "C-a h" creates a hardcopy *sans* attributes.
But i guess that's a start - I guess one can't have everything.
If i can find a way to get part coverage, that would help.


Unfortunately there's so much that's interactive. Clicking, typing text, 
scrolling and then typing text.

Perhaps with a screen hardcopy, I can at least see that all test screens 
load and display the basic widgets correctly positioned with starting 
data.

btw, is there something i am missing in your statement "which is 
reliable at ***obeying curses commands***".

thanks, rk.
