Would it be nice to create some closer-thread for closing poped up dialogs 
in places of code known for that behaviour?  (Probably, for non 
interactive mode only)

I'm not sure. It seems like it would be complex and probably quite 
fragile (e.g. wrt to language issues).

I'd rather have the tests not pop up any windows at all, though that's 
clearly a lost cause.
