Comment 0 for bug 1193502

This was found during testing of the autopilot suite during daily-release testing (for some reason these test results are not being published). Found when using bamf: 0.5.0daily13.06.19-0ubuntu1. Earlier version did not show this issue.

The failing test is:
autopilot.tests.functional.test_process_emulator.ProcessEmulatorTests.test_wait_for_app_running_works

MismatchError: True != False

[Analysis]
The test attempts to open gedit and then, through dbus, assert that a process was started that matches the desktop file 'gedit.desktop'. This fails because bamf returns a match to /etc/xdg/autostart/autopilot.desktop (this file contains "Fire-up Autopilot Tests"). Running the test without this process does not reproduce this issue.

[Steps to reproduce]
 - Copy autopilot.desktop to /etc/xdg/autostart/autopilot.desktop
 - Copy run-autopilot.sh to /usr/local/bin/run-autopilot.sh
 - Copy testsuites to /var/local/autopilot
 - log out/log in.
 - remove $HOME/.ap_setup_done to retest
The test will run and open a gedit window with the wrong application title.
