I just tested the latest snapshots with python2.6 on Kubuntu Maverick.
It is still possible to run the test suite without unittest2 installed
for py26, it yields a long list of attribute errors rather than
raising an import error during initialization. After installing
unittest2, the test suite ran without errors or failures. Also, the
test suite ran to completion without requiring any of the dialogs
receive focus. So it appears you were right, the issues I reported
look to be specific to OS X.
