This is sort of a discussion/tracking bug.

I'd like to run ldtp tests as part of jhbuild for those modules which have
jhbuild tests. My current thinking is to add something like
'has_jhbuild_test='1'' to each module's XML.

If the module has the flag set and an appropriate flag has been passed to
jhbuild indicating that we want to run the tests:
* make sure ldtp/gnome-session/gnome-control-center were built, and vnc is installed
* download the appropriate test from novell forge[1]:
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/cvs/cvsbrowse.php/ldtp/pyautosuite/gedit/
for example
* run it in vnc [optionally: pipe vnc to swf as well]
* cat the log to the screen and/or tinderbox.

Alternatives:
* build ldtp into make check. This seems like a big dependency and sort of
grody, and I'm guessing some devs would scream, but I'm open to the suggestion
if someone else can show how to do the work. :)
* ?

Current blockers (besides bugs in b.g.o marked as blockers):
* can't checkout from novell forge non-interactively:
http://forge.novell.com/pipermail/ldtp-dev/2005-June/000365.html
* many tests require creation of a file:
http://forge.novell.com/pipermail/ldtp-dev/2005-June/000354.html
* for tinderbox, it is hard to tell if a test passed or failed because the logs
are difficult to parse:

[1] for now; once this is successful I'd hope folks will just include the tests
in the module themselves.
