Believe it or not, there are some of us who enjoy writing autopilot tests :)
You are not annoying.

It shouldn't be. But it's really hard to look at the tree. Do you have some
code I can try? Using autopilot vis we can figure it out better. I'll be on
IRC for ~30 minutes before going to lunch.

You will need to make your model more verbose.
Take a look here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/trunk/view/head:/tests/autopilot/ubuntuuitoolkit/tests/test_emulators.py#L738
This is really important, because if you rely on the text, you will end up
changing the tests more often than you should.

pura vida.
