           Version: CVS HEAD
          Platform: Other

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Recorder
        AssignedTo: dogtail-maint gnome bugs

Please describe the problem:
Installed Fedora Core 6, did 'yum update'. Checked out dogtail from CVS and
installed it. Invoked a typical GUI application and also dogtail-recorder.
Attempt to use application via keyboard navigation and dogtail-recorder emits
many error messages.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Invoke 'gtk-demo &'. Invoke 'dogtail-recorder &'. 
2. Click the 'record' button in dogtail-recorder, then click the top bar
   of the gtk-demo window to acquire focus. Hit the down arrow key a few times.
3. Many error messages are emitted. However if you mouse-click on a table item 
   in the lefthand pane of gtk-demo and then hit an arrow key it will begin
   working.
   as expected.


Actual results:
#!/usr/bin/python
from dogtail.procedural import *

Expected results:
The usual series of recorded keyboard commands.

Does this happen every time?
Once you click on some things inside the application window with the mouse, the
recorder appears to 'synch up' and behaves normally. You can then kill the GUI
application, bring it up again, and it will still behave normally. However if
you
exit dogtail and start both up from scratch the problem reappears.

Other information:
We suspect the cspi extension needs updating?
