After the changes in cd5cf44, we use dummy (generally zero) values for the outputs of external calls whose outputs we couldn't find in the recording. External calls are mainly used for rendering fonts and widgets, and this can lead to text or widgets missing in the rendered output or being rendered as black boxes. After #49 we'll show an indicator in this case, but it would be good if this wasn't so distracting and we showed something very similar at least to what the real output would be. We could look through the recording for similar calls whose outputs we could use, or we could perform some limited emulation of these calls on the host linux system.
