Before we continue, thanks for your detailed and quick responses! Now
to the next set of questions :)
Why are these two lines not run via a11yclient?
# Enable accessibility on the "hudson" user
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true
# Accessibility test will hang, if screensaver started during the test
gconftool-2 --type bool --set
/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled false
Are they still effective if you run them with the Hudson/root user?

If the tests are invoked like this:
/usr/bin/a11yclient.py 'xterm -e "cd mago;PYTHONPATH=. ./bin/mago
--noa11y -a gedit"'
Or in my case with something similar to:
/usr/bin/a11yclient.py 'xterm -e "...;nosetests core/ui/gui/tests/"'
All I'll get from nosetests (which is the test runner I use in my
project) is the stderr and stdout, correct? In other words, if I want
to debug the unittest or do anything else it will be completely
unaccessible because of the a11yclient / xterm combination; correct?
Instead of using the .desktop shortcut, have you tried to start the
a11y server in xinitrc.hudson? Does it work?
