I can agree with this - we just need to look at which are *long*, which 
could be *longer, which could be *shorter* - or as I mentioned in 
another reply - 2 testcases, which would just need robust planning when 
it came to calling for tests.

I love the idea of Autopilot, but as you know we've been looking at it 
for 2 cycles now and aren't much further forward - problems with 
Autopilot and it's interaction with GTK2 don't make it easy.
