Hi Francesco, On an Ubuntu system, I did something like this for our VMware Workstation / Player automation:
mv gksu gksu.orig ln -s /usr/local/bin/gksu-polkit /usr/bin and after that everything worked as expected with accessibility :) Additional conf: In /root/.orbitrc ORBIIOPIPv4=1 ORBIIOPUNIX=0 In /etc/sudoers (for automation we use sudo) env_keep = "DISPLAY GTK_MODULES ORBIT_SOCKETDIR" # After env_reset I have to try gksu-polkit on SUSE / Fedora system.
