Hello, while at the moment I am not really intending to switch to fedora I am still on the dekstop development list and received the following message regarding switching to dbus at-spi. It raises an interesting bug about firefox when accessibility is enabled. I don't know if anyone here has a clue what the problem is. Also as fedora have made the move to the dbus at-spi, its probably going to be more importnat to find and iron out some of the bugs with such a switch. As we all are interested parties in this (as dbus at-spi will eventually come to all distributions), may be we can help out (at least by testing and finding problems).

Just a heads-up: As part of the ongoing march towards GNOME3, I have switched the accessibility stack to default to the dbus stack (at-spi2-core/at-spi2-atk/pyatspi) instead of the Corba stack (at-spi). Some initial testing shows that orca and caribou seem to work ok. One issue that I've noticed so far is that firefox is unwilling to pop up menus when accessibility is turned on. I am working with the aeccessibility team upstream to resolve this and other issues that will no doubt pop up. If you notice problems that look like they might be related to this change, please let me know. Matthias |
