About dogtail on x86 and ppc64

[Wu Zhou <woodzltc at cn dot ibm dot com>]

Hello all,

We can setup dogtail on x86 and ppc64 as well.

On both platform, we run "python ./gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api.py".

Here is the results:

On x86:

The difference I noticed is:

1. There  are  some warning messages there in ppc64 complaining that   
failed to send buffer

2. the gedit session quited on ppc64, don't on x86
I guess it work correctly on ppc64, not on x86.

3. on x86, it complained with some warning message:
Warning: AT-SPI error: pre method check: add: Unknown CORBA exception  
id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'


I want to get some suggestion from you, what we need to do to test  
dogtail seriously?  Thanks a lot!
