I've noticed an issue at

where something fails when using the GUI, but which works at the command line.

import haslib

Are you sure that's not a typo? You probably want hashlib (which should work regardless of OpenSSL being found). I'd be really surprised if "import haslib" (missing h) worked anywhere.

will fail as the OpenSSL libraries are not found, but they are on the command line, so it works. Having the ability to run the tests online might be a good idea. I realise that would use a lot of CPU time on public servers, but for test purposes, I'd disable any use of CPU time. In any case, for personal installations, it would again be useful to check that the tests pass in the GUI, as clearly some problems can cause them to fail.

If this is not possible, should I submit this as trac ticket for enhancement. Given I have proven that some additional problems can occur in the GUI, it would seem sensible that testes can be run on the GUI.

BTW, Sage is not the only package to have specific issues on the GUI. I recall Mathematica using tons of CPU time if called to compute something as simple as 1+1 on some old Solaris machines, if the graphical interface was used. But at the command line, it worked fine.
