Hi Matthew and list, 

just one more question:

What about complex test scenarios ... i.e., not for usability test the
way it's described in Rubin&Cisnell, but more for testing purposes?

E.g., import photos from camera, edit in the GIMP, ...

Scenarions which correspond to everyday usage but may bring out more
complexity than single-program use cases, I mean. Do such scenarions
exist, and would the be of interest?

(When I used to work at a software company, the QA department had a lot
of those which all had to pass in order for the software to be
released).
