Michael:

Though we do need some non-GTK_MODULES-based mechanism for loading 
accessibility support if it does not live in the supported library 
itself, GTK_MODULES is the agreed upon API for loading gail itself.

The gtk_module_init method should stay, since it is the only method that 
is guaranteed to work for 'pure GTK+' apps (i.e. those that do not call 
gnome_program_init).

Any proposals to change that need to be run past the release team *and* 
the GTK+ team, and would require all GTK apps to use gnome_program_init 
or be otherwise gnome-module-aware.

Regards,

Bill
