You should give the cairo backend another try. I removed some serious
path problem last night.
As for the unit tests, the save panel test is expected to fail. Here we
reset the delegate and now all entries should be valid, but our
NSBrowser code will only check, if the delegate rejects some entries. If
it accepts more then the last delegate or as in this case there is no
delegate, no validation happens. A patch to fix this on NSBrowser is
more then welcome :-)
If you still have problems with NSCell objectValue, we need to change
the test there to use some floating point number comparison there as well.
