we've turned off setid() since the generated objects aren't 
guaranteed to be unique
(at this time).  I'm using selenium remote control and using python 
to generate the
test cases.  In the limited time I've used it  (1 script so far) it 
was pretty easy to
figure out how to modify one of the examples to run our app.  The 
hardest part is
learning how to use xpath and firefox has a couple of plugins to make 
it easier.
It took me about 15 minutes to get it right.

this could be pretty handy, I could see using this to generate test 
scripts as  one of the developers has promised the ability to replay 
within the business logic
