Hey Tim. Thanks for the quick reply and pointer to the bug!
I didn't realize that the registry daemon's failure to launch could have such a significant impact on the performance of the desktop (beyond rendering it inaccessible). Yikes! Anyhoo... I just created a new BE, built at-spi from GNOME's svn trunk, and re-enabled Assistive Technologies. So far it seems that I'm good to go with build 107 now. Awesome! Thanks again. Take care. --joanie On Thu, 2009-02-19 at 17:15 +0800, Tim Miao wrote: > Hi Joanie, > > There's one bug for this situation. Please do not use build 107 nor 108. > Please try 106 build.
