Description Peter Johanson 2007-02-05 18:48:04 UTC 
In previous versions of dogtail, I was able to run my desktop with a11y disabled, and when running dogtail tests simply set GTK_MODULES="gail:atk-bridge" to get the necessary a11y bits loaded, then everything was fine. After upgrading to 0.6.1, this now fails because utils.py:checkForA11y() is specifically just checking the gconf key.

Any chance we can enhance checkForA11y somehow (or maybe it optional or something) such that the "set the env. variable" approach works as well?

I just changed utils.isA11yEnabled() to also check $GTK_MODULES and it seems to work for me.
