Re: [g-a-devel]AccessibleRelations

Thanks Padraig, Bill,

I had forgotten that GTK_MODULES variable!  I was testing with gedit 
etc.  Okay I using at-poke I am seeing a LABEL_FOR relation.  I was 
hoping to see a LABELED_BY for the text box but don't see it on the 
at-poke dialog.  I shall have to invesitgate further (get a recent GAIL 
build etc.)

I'll let you know how it goes - I am distracted today but want to get 
this working and in cvs as the modification to gok-spy will help with 
other work.

cheers,

David
