RE: Orca under Debian Unstable

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

I believe part of the problem here is that gnome panel can crash when
one launches an application via Alt+F2 and accessibility is enabled
(should be fixed in GTK+ 2.10):

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326362

The other part of the problem is that we (Orca) are having difficulty
getting AT-SPI event information when the crash dialog is displayed
(which is displayed via /usr/lib/libgnomeui-0/gnome_segv2) as the result
of an application crash.  See the following bug for more information on
this, along with a workaround:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344192

Hope this helps,

Will
(Orca project lead)
