I'm curious if you or someone else has any ideas for writing automated  
tests for org-mode.  I haven't the foggiest idea how someone would  
write a test for the parts of org that control what is displayed on  
the screen.  I mean, when the bug is 'it doesn't look right' how can  
you tell?

Perhaps the git repository should have a small collection of small org- 
mode files that reproduce certain bugs?  If there were some examples  
of how to create such a test, then perhaps bug reporters would find it  
much easier to create them.

I do see some confusing issues due to different configuration files.   
So creating a test file might involve making sure org-mode doesn't  
read any configuration (how do you do that?) and possible asking org- 
mode to extract all the configuration variables it has right now and  
dump them into a test file (...and how do you do that?)
