I don't have idea how to use it for that purpose. I can certainly imagine a
parasite which would make the tests more flaky though... ;-)

The problem with UI tests is that the flakiness isn't really so much "tied"
to the UI part. They are just "big" tests, and the main problem is waiting
properly for events, and ensuring that the test is deterministic (Valgrind,
Purify).

Maybe the Parasite would be useful for things like dragging tabs, etc. - I'm
not familiar enough with the tool to tell.
