Re: [orca-list] Emacs and Orca again

["Bart Bunting" <bart ursys com au>]

Hi,

Yes I've tested with the latest emacs-snapshot in Karmic as well as a version from 
ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-elisp/ppa/ubuntu which is version 23.1.50.1.

As soon as emacs is run orca hangs.

Could this possibly be related to an interaction between orca and emacs and dbus?

Bart

Hi Bart,

Not sure if this is same problem. 

While testing karmic I found that Emacs compiled with support for GTK+ causes orca/at-spi to hang. Can you 
try out the latest emacs-snapshot-gtk and see if you can reproduce the problem. 

Cheers
