GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 570228
The default keyring dialog is inaccessible on Open Solaris

1. Be sure you have not created a default keyring 2. Have some accounts created in pidgin. For this example I copied my .purple directory from another machine. 3. open pigin 4. enter the requested passwords. At this point you should have your buddy list and the default keyring dialog in your alt-tab order. When you alt+tab to the keyring dialog you should hear that it is inaccessible.
This is another side effect of the gnome-session/gnome-settings-daemon that were made very late in the GNOME 2.24.x cycle. :-( On OpenSolaris, I believe we chose not to ship the at-spi.schemas because it could result in an inaccessible Gecko (e.g., Firefox, Thunderbird, yelp, etc.). Once we get those problems sorted out, the keyring and logout dialogs should become accessible again. As a workaround, you can do the following: pfexec mv /usr/lib/gnome-keyring-ask /usr/lib/gnome-keyring-ask.bin Then, as root, create a new executable /usr/lib/gnome-keyring-ask that looks like the following: #!/bin/sh GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge /usr/lib/gnome-keyring-ask.bin $*
Happily this workaround works for me. thanks
This problem also seems fixed in Open Solaris build 106.
Thanks Mike! Closing this one out as NOTGNOME since it was an OpenSolaris decision to not include the a11y schemas until FF had the workarounds it needed.
