with an appropriate configuration file and creates a folder for each run
containing the appropriate i3 logfile for each testcase. The latest folder can
always be found under the symlink +latest/+. It is recommended that you run the
tests on one or more separate X server instances (you can only start one window
manager per X session), for example using the provided Xdummy script.
+complete-run.pl+ takes one or more X11 display specifications and parallelizes
the testcases appropriately:

run the tests on a separate X server instance (using the Xdummy script).
