           Summary: Check for a11y ignores GTK_MODULES
           Product: dogtail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Framework
        AssignedTo: dogtail-maint gnome bugs
        ReportedBy: latexer gentoo org
         QAContact: dogtail-maint gnome bugs
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


In previous versions of dogtail, I was able to run my desktop with a11y
disabled, and when running dogtail tests simply set
GTK_MODULES="gail:atk-bridge" to get the necessary a11y bits loaded, then
everything was fine. After upgrading to 0.6.1, this now fails because
utils.py:checkForA11y() is specifically just checking the gconf key.

Any chance we can enhance checkForA11y somehow (or maybe it optional or
something) such that the "set the env. variable" approach works as well?
