GNOME's testing strategy for GUIs

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

I might be opening a big can of worms with this question, and I 
apologize if someone is already working in this space and I just don't 
know it.

What is the automated testing strategy for GUIs in GNOME?  Is there a 
well defined way to create a 'make test' target and have it do the right 
thing?

I know of LDTP and Dogtail, and the build brigade folks were trying 
something at one time.  Orca has its regression test harness as well. 
But, I know of no unifying test strategy for GNOME.  Are people working 
in this space?  If not, does the community have an interest in seeing 
something like this emerge?

Will
