Hi:
Tracing a serious blocker with GOK, I looked into the gdk sources. It
looks to me initially as if gdkmain-x11.c's call to
_gdk_input_grab_pointer might be grabbing the non-corepointer XInput
devices! That would seriously break accessibility since disabled users
who can't use a standard keyboard or mouse need to use XInput to drive
alternatives like GOK. But the sources don't seem to have been recently
changed.. can someone point me to a reason why this behavior should
suddenly start impacting us?
Maybe I am misreading the sources - can anyone confirm whether or not
non-corepointer XInput devices are currently being grabbed during
gdk_pointer_grab? If they are that would make gdk_pointer_grab
seriously toxic to accessibility, so I hope that is not the case.
In any case I'd appreciate insight into the apparent grabbing of the
XInput devices, which occurs for instance during the posting of
Nautilus/eel alert dialogs like the one about 'no action associated'
with a file type.
thanks in advance,
Bill
