+This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. In order
+to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
+test environment that these tests are written for.
+
+Linux X11:
+
+ * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
+ autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
+
+ * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
+
+ * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
+ tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
+ and activation.
+
+ * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
+ manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
+ wait for the user to click the window.
