not work at all, in any fashion, for anyone. It doesn't happen a lot,

before pushing them.
Just to provide some examples, here are the bugzilla entries for a
package that didn't even start up
(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591213), and another one
for a package that crashed on a first elementary operation
(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454045)
FYI, I fixed the latter, and the former is still there in Fedora 14.
Hopefully AutoQA will solve many of those problems, if we can come up
with test cases and a method to check elementary GUI operation.
