Re: Unit testing

Murray,

Both of those look interesting but they also both require me figuring
out the accesibility api stuff. In general, this is something that I
could see using in the future.

Currently I was mostly thinking of firing signals which would of
course tie the tests to the gtkmm api, but it seems quite a bit faster
to implement.

Thanks,
Paul
