I'm working on Linux layout tests.  We're at about ~85% passing right
now, but I know we still have a lot of problems.

I've recently been running into places where I'm trying to fix
problems, but the Windows layout test is marked as failing, and the
expected image is either wrong or old.  It would be really great if we
had more of the Windows layout tests fixed after the merge of doom.  I
know it was hard, and fixing layout tests are boring, but now the
Linux team has no idea what we should be shooting for, and we have
nothing to match.  For example, simple tests related to text areas (we
are trying to match metrics) fail:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:layout_tests$ grep textarea test_lists/win/tests_fixable.txt
LayoutTests/fast/forms/textarea-scrollbar-height.html = FAIL
chrome/fast/forms/basic-textareas-quirks.html = FAIL
LayoutTests/fast/forms/textarea-rows-cols.html = FAIL
LayoutTests/fast/parser/comment-in-textarea.html = FAIL
LayoutTests/fast/parser/open-comment-in-textarea.html = FAIL
LayoutTests/fast/replaced/width100percent-textarea.html = FAIL
chrome/fast/forms/basic-textareas.html = FAIL

I have no idea how to continue with the Linux theming work, since we
have no known good to match.  I realize that fixing layout tests is
not very attractive work, but there is some responsibility to have a
trunk that is passing these layout tests.

What should be the plan?  Our direction was to work on layout tests
exclusively.  Now I am thinking we should work on other areas until
Windows can get it's test coverage back to where it was per-merge, and
then we actually have a baseline to try to match.
