Yes, that's correct.

1. Based on this great tutorial I made changes in qa tests which allow 
to use wxFrames in test suite.

http://www.remy.org.uk/tech.php?tech=1407951209

2. I used these kind of tests with my development in following merge 
request (commit 3542e2da9b9 and later):

https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/215

3. I want to add more of these tests, namely: I want to cover 
DIALOG_SIM_SETTINGS with tests and add new types of simulation in the 
future.
4. Sure I can install what I need on my own docker image, but I want to 
make it working with CI as well. Otherwise it makes no sense.
5. I was hoping that other developers can benefit from this change as well.

Good point, this can be used as well, but xvfb is not available in 
official KiCad image. Can we consider adding it?

I hope it's not a big deal. Are there any obstacles (maybe I'm not aware 
of something)?


Best regards,
Sylwester
