The fourth "automate other windows apps" app I tried, VistaTask, passed the "can control notepad" test with flying colors! A free trial is available at http://www.vista-software.com/
I don't know how close that tool is to being useful for software testing -- it's not specifically aimed at it -- but it's nice to see at least one such app actually working on Wine.
Again, kudos to the Wine developers for getting Wine to this point! - Dan

... but it can't invoke Picasa's File / Import From menu under Wine (whereas it can under WinME). Perhaps it's the space in the menu item somehow? I filed http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4221 for this.
I'm not sure what debug channel to use to track this down. +user wasn't very informative, and +relay might have been, but I didn't know what to look for.
Suggestions, anyone? I don't currently know of *any* gui test driver that works under both Windows and Wine; VistaTask was the closest. (I hope to try WinRunner tomorrow, but it's too expensive for most users.) I've updated http://kegel.com/wine/testsw.html with a bunch more info about the gui test apps I've tested, btw. - Dan
