Indeed. I briefly spoke to cjohnston about this in the past the last
time I mentioned it (around qt5.2 migration time), and would indeed
like it migrated to the DC rather than running on a device on my desk.
It's currently a shoddy shell script, so probably wants making more
robust.

I'm currently running it before updating to qt5.3 to see if we break
any store apps when we move.

However before getting that far I'm finding crasher bugs just
launching apps and taking screenshots.

e.g.:-

http://pad.lv/1327542
http://pad.lv/1327547

Unfortunately I get a bunch of crash files in /var/crash, and need to
do some correlation to figure out which app crashed it. I'll modify my
script to look for files in /var/crash after every application
start/stop cycle and pause so I can analyse it.

e.g. these guys, no idea what triggered them without some effort.

I can file bugs for them, but do the devs want the crash files
attached, or just run "apport-cli <crashfile>"? As a dev, what do you
want from me when I spot one of these crashers?
