Whoa, thanks a lot for writing this! I was looking forward to it :)

I want to add that the existing Autopilot tests for Ubuntu's desktop GTK
apps can be found at
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-autopilot-tests/trunk
They can be used as example code.

And there's more on "Why autopilot and not $other_project" in Pitti's
session on testing,
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/01/31/%23ubuntu-classroom.html if you're
interested.
