If the accessibility Gconf key is set then this problem does not occur. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true. However I get a crash on line 90. I will investigate further.
The procewss bonobo-sample-controls-2 does not load libgnomeui so libgail-gnome is not loaded.
It looks like this has not worked since March 2002. See CVS Log entry for version 1.5.
lowering priority and severity (because this package is very stable, i.e. almost no code changes are taking place). Therefore leaving this as-is is low risk. A patch to fix this would be welcome. In the meantime perhaps we should modify Makefile.am so that this test is not attempted if someone runs 'make check'.
still get this is CVS HEAD, changing version to 2.11/2.12 and attaching an *untested* patch
Created attachment 49185 [details] [review] turns off the test-gail-gnome test since it segfaults anyway
Created attachment 49186 [details] [review] updated, specified gnome bugzilla in the comment
Comment on attachment 49186 [details] [review] updated, specified gnome bugzilla in the comment thanks Brent
Bill, can we close this? Or are we keeping it around b/c of the segfault? It seems like if it's never going to be fixed, we should just close it. 2005-06-15 Luis Villa <luis.villa@gmail.com> * tests/Makefile.am disable 'make check' as it currently segfaults- bug #160384. Patch from Brent Smith.
The patch was commited. Marking as such.
