[TIP] Python GUI testing

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hello Geoff,

We @VMware use LDTP [1] for GUI automation in Linux, Solaris. Here is a
catch though ! the app should run in GNOME environment (GTK / Java Swing /
OpenOffice / XUL) with accessibility in place.

As Paul mentioned it doesn't work on QT environment, but there is some work
in progress [2].

Thanks
Nagappan
