I will look into that after the long weekend.

Well, a lot of the new anaconda UI is being done in glade and using
GTK
signals as control. I don't know to what degree we can ensure that
the
library results in the same behavior as clicking buttons. I suppose
it's controlled by how I write the signal handlers. I welcome any
input
here.

The new UI will not affect the current Fedora Installation Test Automation project.
And I do not think the rats_install still works now because the stages2 images
install.img
is compressed into initrd.img after f14. I will update it later.
