Re: [orca-list] [Fwd: Re: In Ubuntu 10.04, when Orca is running, impossible to make USB startup disk with usb-creator-gtk application]



Hi Joanie

Are there any guidelines on these threading issues and remedies in respect to accessibility? A reference in a bug report with this type of problem I think could help developers.

Thanks
Isaac

I believe there is another way to ensure your app's threads don't hose
us. But I'm not a thread expert. I do see a certain amount of obligation
to help app developers identify where their app is messing us up. Then I
think it's their obligation to solve the problem they are creating (and
test it with ATs like Orca) in whatever way they deem fit.

Hi

The same type of problem happens in Lucid with Computer Janitor
sudo computer-janitor-gtk

Using an external thread is a valid and sometimes the most convenient
method to achieve gui update is it not possible to modify at-spi to cope
with these scenarios?

Thanks
Isaac

I have scanned the gtk frontend code and if I am reading it correctly.
THey use separate wrapped threads for the progressbar, retry dialog,
failure dialog, and success dialog.  I suspect this is the problem we are
seeing and I don't know how to test it or let the maintainers know.

For any suspect gui changes, you can test by using g_object_idle_add()
(in Python gobject.idle_add()).
