I will try that this week. If getting AT-SPI support is that easy perhaps we should talk with the Orca team about adopting their screen reader. > > I may have been hampered a bit by trying to find a toolkit with a > graphical > > browser (to find controls without inspecting source code) during the > GTK2 to > > GTK3 transition.

But these tests were done without this environment variable. I also tried Accerciser ( https://live.gnome.org/Accerciser/ ). Dogtail seems to be the test framework we're both looking at, possibly because Redhat helps maintain it. Other AT-SPI frameworks include LDTP ( http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki ) and Mago ( http://mago.ubuntu.com/ ; uses LDTP). Graphical (non AT-SPI) test frameworks also exist.
