Description Brad Taylor 2008-12-19 17:46:28 UTC

Most of this is covered in #427728, and the upstream bgo#565110.

From the upstream bug:

Similar to bgo#563943, If an app needs to load atk-bridge to export its Atk
objects but not Gail as it uses Gtk+ only for themeing, an environment variable
should be added to stop Gail from loading.

The specific instance I'm dealing with is around Mono's System.Windows.Forms
implementation.  Right now, it links to gtk+ for theming purposes (similar to
Firefox and OpenOffice), and as a result, Gail and atk-bridge are loaded.  In
our instance, that causes Gail to register our window sooner than the SWF
accessibility code does.  In this instance, we need to be able to selectively
tell Gail to not load.

This patch is definitely required for the SWF accessibility support (not currently packaged in openSUSE 11.1), and will likely be required for both Firefox (and #427728) and OpenOffice accessibility.
