There is some serious brokenness with the starting of a11y tools. Just opening and closing the capplet makes half of my desktop vanish behind a magnifier.
David, any progress on this ?
I've started looking at the the a11y work needed for Fedora 7, so yes.
So I went ahead and disabled the start-at-helper patch. Justifications - the wording in the "Assistive Technologies Preferences" capplet clearly that the checkboxes refer to starting the AT's when logging in - gdm is now accessible (bug 229912) -> preferred way to start AT's in the first place - this will be completely reworked for GNOME 2.20 and Fedora 8
