X Testing:

Some discussion about the X test suite . A problem is that
xvfb does not support all the extensions we want to test,
yet using a real display tends to test the quality of
the display driver rather than the server. We will ask
Rui to scope building a custom version of xvfb that has
the support for the extensions we need to test. This would
be added to the test package or available in the application
battery.

Gtk testing

A discussion occured on how best might gtk testing go forward.
We agreed that best for development to include the steps
of  specification->assertions->test code, and for a separate
branch under tests in the CVS tree be made. It was also agreed
that once some tests are ready, they be made available in
a simple to run bundle so that those outside of the direct
development can try the tests out. Experience has shown
that this is the most effective way to get feedback.


Next Meeting:

Next Meeting dependent on PR progress. Andrew will notify
the group. Most Likely to be in two weeks time on Sep 20.
