Re: [orca-list] Question about at-spi and at-spi2

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

You *should* be able to make AT-SPI and AT-SPI2 coexist if you build 
AT-SPI 1 with --enable-relocate, and then you would enable AT-SPI1 by 
setting /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba in gconf 
(/desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-dbus is no longer used).  However, it 
might be simpler to just make the packages conflict.  The pyatspi bindings 
are different for AT-SPI2--the new pyatspi code will not recognize 
accessibles exposed over CORBA.  It will, however, load pyatspi from the 
at-spi-corba directory instead if the gconf key is set (although I'll 
probably remove the rest of the relocate code for 3.2).
