Okay, feel free to file bugs for anything that doesn't seem to work
right, I do care about a11y (it's my day job) and testing, but don't
always catch issues in Tomboy.

Once this stuff is in Mago, we should add something on the Tomboy wiki
helping people get started using/expanding the tests.

Okay, I'm cool keeping stuff in Tomboy git if that ends up being more
convenient, just fyi.
