No, I have a rotation triggered by timer events. So I need the
interactors to run for the duration of the rotation, and then
complete. If you run the test interactively you can see what I mean -
it is an animation between two dimensions that is part of the
visualization. I will try to dig into this today, or add a baseline to
at least test the bare functionality.

There are a few places now where I would like to have the event loop
work, fire timers and verify the animations work correctly and
snapshot the final image to verify it completes (or even a few
intermediate images too).
