Re: frysk ui concall

Kris,

You asked about accessibility, two pieces of background that might help 
clarify what is going on:

- frysk is using JUnit for unit-level testing
For instance frysk-gui contains a test to verify that the paths to the 
files required by the UI are all valid.

- frysk is using DOGTAIL for UI testing (a.k.a. integration testing)
For instance, sequencing through the operation of selecting a set of 
process and monitoring them, thus ensuring that the entire frysk program 
works as expected.

In the latter case, DOGTAIL uses accessibility information to identify 
and control widgets.  So in addition to the obvious reasons, 
accessibility is important to frysk as it allows us to pursue automated 
testing.

More information on DOGTAIL is available here:

And you can run the dogtail tests with /usr/lib/frysk/ftail.
