Re: [g-a-devel]Re: inconsistent in gnopernicus event process for HTML input widgets

Hi Marc,

Assume you have had the gnome evironment with accessibility enabled 
(RH8.0 has gnoem2 but no accessibility libs), then you need Mozilla 
accessibility build for gtk2.
You can either:
1. download it from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/accessibility/,  OR
2. build it youself. in this case make sure you have 
"--enable-default-toolkit=gtk2" set  (and "--disable-debug" if you do 
not want to build mozilla).
