[BangPypers] Using dogtail to test/automate gtk apps

[Srijayanth Sridhar]

Hello all,

For some vague reason the click() function isn't defined on certain types of
Node objects, I have no clue why, I haven't looked at the code in detail,
but I took the Node.click() method, rewrote it as a standalone function and
passed the eventbox into it and it works. So I think this might actually be
a bug at some level, or a really strange feature.

Nagappan, thanks for LDTP. I'll take a look at that one as well.

Thank you,

Jayanth
