Re: Orca at-poke

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bart:

We were just talking about this the other day.  The problem is that 
at-poke purposely hides itself from the AT-SPI infrastructure.  Here's 
the relevant lines from at-poke's main.c:

        /* We don't want to show ourself */
        putenv ("GTK_MODULES=");
        putenv ("GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=0");

I suspect the main reason to do this is to prevent the optional 
listening of events from causing an infinite loop: if event listening is 
enabled in at-poke, at-poke will output events it receives to a window, 
which in turn causes an event, and so on.  I'm not sure of any other 
reasons for doing this.

If you're willing to play, you might try taking those two lines out of 
at-poke's main.c and see what happens.  As an alternative, I think the 
dogtail folks were also working on an at-poke-ish like thing at one point.
