Changes to the core apps test environment

[Nicholas Skaggs]

The bugs! Note some of these failed perhaps only because of the tab 
index bug with the emulator and sdk, 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1233402. However, 
they might still have other bugs. Please take a look and ensure 
everything about your app will continue to function with the upstream 
SDK :-)
