You're describing at-spi¹, which is an accessibility framework that provides introspection on GUI widgets. There's an existing GUI test framework called Dogtail², written in Python, that uses the widget data from at-spi in order to allow easy addressing of widgets for writing GUI tests for GTK apps. It would be a great project for someone to look into what it takes to get Dogtail working on the XO. It has some gnarly dependencies (bonobo, corba..) but there wouldn't be a need to put them in every build, just builds that we want to run a test harness against. Thanks, - Chris. ¹: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/ ²: http://people.redhat.com/zcerza/dogtail/ -- Chris Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
