It would be particularly good if this logging was sufficiently
performant that a dedicated tester could have it on routinely.  This
would help in the situation when I am surprised without knowing
exactly what I did.

For example, right now I am unable to reproduce a rendering problem in
Writer that I stumbled over while I was doing real work.  Perhaps it
depends on just what edits I made, how I moved the cursor around, what
I undo'd (Let us hope that never becomes a word. <scowl />), or even
the content of the document.  As it is now, I have just about given
up.
