Hey all,

A bit of a question about philosophy.  One of the things that really interested 
me when I saw that SWTBot dispatches events directly to the widgets themselves 
(vs. the Display) is the idea that perhaps tests could be run in the 
"background" --- which is to say without requiring keyboard focus or control of 
the mouse.  This is a perk since it means one can run tests while continuing to 
code, check mail, etc.  Is this a desired property?  In practice, I'm seeing 
some things in the implementation (notably how the "active shell" is derived) 
that pull against this idea so I wonder if I was just under a mistaken 
impression.  Anyway, I'm curious if this is a feature that is even on the 
radar. 
  Do other folks think this would be valuable?  General thoughts?

Thanks!
