RE: gnopernicus gaim and firefox

["Jason Grieves" <jasongrieves hotmail com>]

Hello,

The correct environment variable should be set with

export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge

when launching gaim from say the terminal, Gnopernicus should read something
like "Accessibility Support initialized" for the GTK app.  This should be
exposing all the accessible information that gaim provided.

I haven't been using gaim with the screen reader.  I know Bill had some
discussion at one time.  I can't seem to find any other information on it.

Are you using the latest Firefox?  You may want to grab the tarball off of
the web, Firefox (1.5), and try running it with gnopernicus.  I have
achieved pretty good success with carot navigation and 1.5.

The next revision of FF should provide even more accessibility support.  

Hope this helps some,

Jason Grieves

Subject: gnopernicus gaim and firefox

hello all.
I just formatted with ubuntu and finaly think i got a grip on things. here 
is my questions

1. This first issue is with gaim I clicked on the system menu then prefs, 
then assistive technology support and enabled the support of assistive tech 
and enabled gnopernicus screen reader not magnifier. I even typed

export gtk_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge

and this didn't help with gaim. I even substituted export with gaim like 
this

gaim gtk_MODULES=gail...and so on, but this launched gaim and gnopernicus 
did not speak with it. how can I get this to work

2. I open up firefox and I can go to different websites, but when I turn on 
charott navigatioin, I can move threwout the page somewhat with my arrow 
keys but not very well. I can't, for example, press control plus home for 
the top of the page, gnopernicus just seems difficult on webpages, but I can

manage on some pages, so where would I find a list of commands or tip for 
using firefox?

thanx a lot, cody
