That's great! Something like this should work:

apt-get update
apt-get source gtk+3.0
apt-get build-dep gtk+3.0
cd gtk+3.0-3.8.2
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

At some point the build will fail (when running the tests). Then do:

cd debian/build/shared/tests/a11y

./children

And see if the test passes. And

xvfb-run ./children

And see if it fails.

Thanks!
Emilio
