Hi All:
One problem we consistently run into with accessibility are hangs caused
by code that is performing GTK+ operations outside the main loop. These
are typically apps that are doing things via threads, such as talking to
network servers and such.
It is often very difficult chase down the of
ty
enabled by default some day. We can't do that, however, until the
performance issues are identified/understood/resolved.

Sandro - yikes! This might be a good test case for helping improve the
efficiency of GAIL/ATK, or at least for identifying a gotcha one might
avoid in the UI code. Can you log this as a performance-related bug
against the GTK+/gail component at http://bugzilla.gnome.org?

Here's the hack we did in Orca to prevent this from happening:
# We're going to force the name of the app to "orca" so pygtk
# will end up showing us as "orca" to the AT-SPI. If we don't
# do this, the name can end up being "-c". See bug 364452 at

Hi Krishnakant:
Setting up a mnemonic (e.g., Alt+f for the "First name:" label of a text

Hope this helps!

Hi Brian:
Setting the window title works great for the window, but it doesn't set
the name of the application. :-( That is, if one were to look at the
hierarchy with an application like at-poke on GNOME, they'd see
something like this:
app: "-c"
window: "my window title here"
window: "some
Hi All:
I work on Orca, which is an open source screen reader for people with
visual impairments for the GNOME platform. Orca is written entirely in
Python and communicates with desktop applications via ORBit/bonobo and
the AT-SPI.
I need some help trying to track down some random hangs in Orc
