Orca failed to exit after stopping the full screen mag.

Please describe the problem: Orca can not exit when user stops the full screen mag service. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure the virtual frame buffer on a solaris machine. 2. Configure the orca full screen magnification, set source screen to :0.1, target screen to :0.0. Set the resolution of mag screen to the monitor maximum value. 3. Enable orca full screen mag, then kill the gnome-mag. 4. Click the Quit button and Yes button in orca main window to confirm the quit command. Actual results: Orca failed to quit. Expected results: Orca should quit after you choose quit orca. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: On gnopernicus, if user enables the full screen mag, gnopernicus will be launched in target screen, while orca won't. We can see orca is still running in the source screen. Another thing need to be commented here: User can quit orca with normal quiting way, to press Insert+Q. But the quiting question dialog is not magnified in target screen.
Hi Tim: > 1. Configure the virtual frame buffer on a solaris machine. Do you have detailed directions for doing this? Thanks!
Hi Will, Here's the docs for that. http://sceri.prc.sun.com/desktop/Browser/QA/Test_Plan/Accessibility/Vermilion/magnifier-configure.html
This bug still can be reproduced with orca 2.19.3.
Created attachment 90775 [details] [review] Patch to handle failures in communicating with gnome-mag while quitting Having someone or something kill gnome-mag from underneath Orca is really a non-standard thing, but we do need to support the possibility of that happening. This patch allows Orca to quit even if gnome-mag disappeared on it.
Tested and seems to work well. Closing as FIXED.
