Last modified: 2012-10-05 03:08:44 UTC
Please describe the problem: When one application calls gnome-keyring-ask, orca freezes and does not react to any keyboard or braillecommand. Steps to reproduce: 1. install one aplication whgich uses gnome-keyring-ask (like gajim) 2. simply start gajim 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
This is unfortunately an application problem causing the AT-SPI infrastructure to hang. In particular see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447435#c9 of bug #447435. As such, this problem is going to unfortunately occur on an app-by-app basis, and we have no control over it. Please file bugs with the offending applications. :-(
Are people still experiencing this problem? If so, which specific apps are exhibiting the problem?
Yes Will I can reproduce the problem with latest ubutnu karmic. The used application is the networkmanager applet. Adding an wireless connection brings up two inaccessible windows. 1. The default-keyring creation 2. The unlock keyring window.
The AT-SPI2 blockage that caused hangs in the past was eliminated in AT-SPI2 during the GNOME 3.4 cycle.
