Thanks for the patch series and especially for the detailed descriptions, they are rather helpful! One thing I noticed while working on the UI tests (or rather the prerequisite, making Sugar "accessible"): The Owner Icon is the _last_ entry in the list, at least for the Home View. Can we make it the first one instead (without going to great lengths)? With the version I tested, there was also some issue with positioning; IIRC the Owner Icon was off-center. Has this been fixed? Are there any (other) known bugs? I've discussed the approach for both the hippo removal series and the GTK3 port with a couple of community members over the past few weeks and we agreed that we should focus on the architecture (i.e. external API, internal API, interactions with other components / APIs) and work towards merging the patches sooner rather than later. We fully expect there to be major bugs, but by merging early we enable a) widespread manual testing and b) development of automated UI tests that can verify the GTK3 port against the current behaviour of the GTK2 version. Unless we can't solve a number of technical issues [1] with accessibility support, my plan would be to do things in this order: 1. Merge hippo removal patch series. 2. Finish and merge accessibility patch series. It should be complete enough to test all major parts of the UI. Accessibility support for humans (e.g. using screen readers) is only a side effect at this stage, not a goal. Help with this effort (especially fixing the current blockers [1]) would be quite appreciated. 3a. Develop a UI test suite based on the latest GTK2 version of Sugar. 3b. Finish and merge GTK3 port. 3a. and 3b. can happen in parallel. Caspar and me would still review the patches and make a couple of suggestions where the patches can be _easily_ improved, but in general we'd focus on the interfaces rather than the implementation. Would that work for you?
