Description Mike Gorse 2008-06-25 16:31:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
dec_synth_keystring allocates an array that isn't quite long enough (it doesn't allocate space for the terminator), so it can crash when it tries to free the array.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 
run test/keysynth-test

Actual results:
at-spi-registryd crashes, and keysynth-test reports a CORBA exception

Expected results:
Some text should be inserted into the focused application

Does this happen every time?
on my system, yes

Patch.

The first change is unrelated, but it it is a change that I've been carrying around.

I'd prefer to add ifdef to all the g_print in that file.
