Thanks George.  

I'd like to claim this bug for GOPA.

However, grep'ing through gok didn't show any use of libcspi. The only thing that looks suspicious is in gok-keyboard.c:

#if (!defined CSPI_1_5 || (CSPI_1_5 == 0))
/* missing from cspi headers in 1.4 series, but present in libcspi */
SPIBoolean
AccessibleTable_addRowSelection (AccessibleTable *obj,
				 long int row);
SPIBoolean
AccessibleTable_addColumnSelection (AccessibleTable *obj,
				    long int column);

SPIBoolean
AccessibleTable_removeRowSelection (AccessibleTable *obj,
				    long int row);
SPIBoolean
AccessibleTable_removeColumnSelection (AccessibleTable *obj,
				       long int column);
#endif

Is this the problem or is the report not valid anymore?

George, could you chime in again to elaborate on this bug?

ldd /usr/bin/gok | grep spi
libcspi.so.0 => /usr/lib/libcspi.so.0 (0x050df000)
libspi.so.0 => /usr/lib/libspi.so.0 (0x0508d000)

I assume that GOK is using libcspi directly; however, that library is not being maintained that well.   This may impact you when SPI migrates from Orbit2 to DBus.

George, do you have a recommended way that this could be resolved?

To me it looks like gok-spy.c is using libcspi which is not being maintained very well.  Also, AT-SPI is in the process of migrating from Orbit2 to DBus which will break most all ATs.

My recommendation is to keep this bug open as a reminder to migrate to AT-SPI on DBus.

gok (GNOME on-screen keyboard) development has been stalled and it has been replaced by caribou [1]. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX.
