I don't think we should introduce a dependency on those packages, as everything's fine if the accessibility packages aren't installed at all. But *if* they are installed, they need to be at least a certain version. Robert Schuster suggested the INSTALL file, which makes sense (duh, why didn't I think of that...). So, committing this change as: 2007-04-02 Francis Kung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * INSTALL: Document known bug in at-spi, atk, and gail packages prior to version 1.18.0.

From reading all the discussion that seems to be the same bug. Yes, the problem is fixed after updating the set of accessibility packages. I'll revert the patch (is there any place where we can document this requirement for at-spi/atk/gail >= 1.18.0?).

See also: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329454 ... a link to this was just added to (gnome bz) 423057. So maybe (hopefully) we don't need this after all... Francis, could you try Classpath without your patch but with the latest (rawhide) at-spi? Thanks. Tom
