I have and it works great -- under Xorg. :) In wayland, things are a bit more complicated because, as I understood it, the fact that one application cannot find out the position of widgets in another is a deliberate security feature. This makes automation hard but also hampers accessibility. As far as I've read (I'm not a Gnome user) Gnome works around this by having a daemon process always running in the background which is able to negotiate widget position and content of all applications that are running in a gnome session. But as far as I know, automating wayland applications is just not a thing... I assume the gtk software in Debian is stuck at Xorg for automation purposes? > There is openqa.debian.net but I believe it's not currently connected to > britney for blocking migration to Testing.

Yes, I've been in contact with Phil Hands on that topic and was already given a quick introduction. According to Phil, running this on openqa.d.n is definitely in scope of the service. I just have to learn how to interact with it now. :) Thanks! cheers, josch
