Re: [orca-list] Strange message while running eclipse

[Paul Hunt <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hey all,

I've just noticed I get similar output whenever I launch gedit from a 
terminal.


(gedit:2515): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

** (gedit:2515): CRITICAL **: atk_object_initialize: assertion 
`ATK_IS_OBJECT (accessible)' failed
