Title:
  Autopilot tests modify databases during test setup

Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Some autopilot tests perform their set up editing the database of the apps.
  We have found that it causes a lot of problems, because the database format can change. And anyway, that's not the kind of set up we should be doing for black box testing.

  We should try to set up the tests by just placing files at folders
  where the user has permission, or by performing other actions that a
  real user would perform.
