Dogtail test scripts are encountering a blank 'Frysk Startup Manager' window

The Dogtail test scripts all start by creating a new Frysk debug session
object/file. The file is written to disk correctly, but a blank Startup Manager
window is displayed and the processes selected in creating the session are not
listed in the resulting 'Frysk Monitor' window. 

The fact that this problem cannot be reproduced manually/outside of running a
Dogtail script, makes me think that it may be a Dogtail issue - but, there's a
Frysk component to it too. When the session is created and the script presses
the Open button to access a session, the 'Frysk Startup Manager' window should
not be there.

See the attachment for an illustration.

Looks to me like the dogtail scripts are opening up a blank terminal session,
instead of a normal session. Might be some bitrot in the dogtail scripts after
the ui changed?

Comment 3 Len DiMaggio 2006-07-28 19:58:28 UTC

Found a workaround - somehow, selecting the session name is causing the terminal
monitor to appear?

Dogtail bug? Frysk bug? Not sure yet.
