Description David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2007-02-24 09:00:01 UTC
It would be nice to autostart the same kind of AT's the user manually enabled in gdm - see bug 411501 for details. With a patched gdm that passes such hints in the $GDM_ATS environment, this patch will make gnome-session read this variable and if it's set will enable AT for the session. Then it will start up these AT's. 

This patch is just a rough prototype and is not yet ready for HEAD. But I'd like to get some feedback on the idea regardless. Thanks!

improved patch

Here's an updated patch to work with the latest patch in bug 411501.

Note that we'll move some of that code to gnome-setting-daemons. See bug 386411.
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2007-05-06 08:20:28 UTC
David: patch from bug #386411 has been committed, so you will probably want to move part of your patch to the gnome-control-center module. Also, did you talk about this with some of the a11y people?
Comment 5 George Kraft IV 2007-05-06 13:20:00 UTC
David,

Please take a look at the new /usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-at-session.desktop and /usr/bin/gnome-at-visual that are found in gnome-control-center/capplets/default-applications

http://live.gnome.org/GAP/ScratchPad/PreferredApplications

If gconf /desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/startup or /desktop/gnome/applications/at/mobility/startup are not set, then /usr/bin/gnome-at-visual could start $GDM_ATS.

Assuming that this problem is obsolete nowadays. 

If you can still reproduce this problem with a recent version (currently: 3.38) of GNOME / gnome-session, then please report this at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/ and follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines - thanks a lot!
