Re: [g-a-devel] doubt about accessibility framework

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Carlos:

Unless the colorblind applet wants to use AT-SPI, it shouldn't need the 
Accessibility typelib.  I just took a cursory glance at the code, and it 
seems as though loading the Accessibility typelib is not needed.

Unless the person doesn't have AT-SPI support installed in their 
machine, however, I'm puzzled about what issues they would be having.
