Re: [g-a-devel]Tree updates in at-poke

David,

The purpose of at-poke is to provide a tool to help determine whether accessibility bugs are in assistice technology, e.g. gok or gnopernicus or in the application or in the accessibility framework, i.e. at-spi, atk or gail.

at-poke should be capable of doing both "value-poking" or "value-monitoring".

If you can identify when property-change notiifcations are not being sent I can try to evaluate whether it is a bug.

If you can identify when a crash occurcs and supply a back trace I can look at it.
