Can a GNOME application be automated? How?

Can a GNOME application be automated? I.e., can I programatically interact with its user inteface?

How?

From stackoverflow
  • You should take a look at DBus.

  • While specifically designed to test GUIs, dogtail provides the functionality you are looking for.

    Torsten Marek : +1: thanks for the link, very useful!
  • While I don't know much about it, try looking into ATK. I know there was a project a while back called facade (part of FVWM?) that used ATK to figure out the logical elements of an application and interact with and modify them.
