Re: gnopernicus 0.10.4 + Firefox 1.0.7 not talking

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Jason,

To expand on Bill's comments below, the Sun mozilla/firefox accessibility team 
has begun working specifically on firefox accessibility.  Louie Zhao <louie 
dot zhao at Sun dot com> is one of the key folks working on this.  I've cc-ed 
him on this message.

You wrote in your original message (attached) that you aren't getting anything 
in the firefox you compiled for AIX, but are getting output from Ubuntu.  I 
believe there are specific compile-time flags needed to turn on some of the 
accessibility machinery - Louie should be able to confirm this.

We've just begun tracking Firefox accessibility bugs; you can find our short 
firefox-specific list at:

Hello,

I have Firefox compiled on my AIX box and am running gnopernicus but I can't seem to get it to talk. Here are my steps

export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge

firefox

GTK Accessibility Module Initialized

=====================
Firefox starts fine but no talking at all.  I then
export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridgeTEST

and ran and got that atk-bridgeTEST could not be found, which confirmed that my modules were loading correctly from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules which include

1)libatk-bridge.a and .la
2)libgail.a and la
(including some other accessiblity modules I assume)

Am I missing anything. I was looking through the gnopenricus logs and did not see that this was a new feature from 0.10.4 to the current. I did notice a post in August where a user was trying to use 0.10.4 and was having the same problem. Bill asked for hte output and I did not see the repsonse at this point.

Thanks,

Jason Grieves
