right, but it was a deliberate decision to not honor KDE4_BUILD_TESTS in kde-workspace/kwin. So I'm just wondering what's the usecase or better put the advantage for kwin development to have a build option to disable testing. Personally I don't see any. If your a developer you to run the tests, thus it should be enabled. If you are a distro you want to run the tests as part of your package building process. So who would benefit from such a build option?
