Sadly, things are missing. This is, again, probably a matter of setup.
While I have a simple python app that can access some applications,
not all are shoing up in the list. I'm using code similar to that
described in my earlier post. It finds nautilus and Firefox, for
example. gcalctool, Rich's project is showing up fine in the list I am
building.

The very interesting part, however, is that it is not finding a pygtk
app I am working on (Magnum, text editor). Nor does it seem to find
gimp, THE standard gtk application. I believe there must be something
extra needed to tell these apps to make themselves known to at-spi.
Sadly, my google skills don't seem to be as good as they used to be
(actually, I think its possible google is going downhill, but that's
another rant). I'm hoping I'm missing something embarrassingly obvious
(perhaps a one-line call to 'hey_atk_Im_here_so_talk_to_me() or some
such) . I'd rather be embarrassed then have to put a lot of hard work
into this! :-D

I'm getting the same results when running in gnome, so I'm assuming
all the services are running -- I did check the 'enable assistive
technologies' checkbox after all. Any ideas why some apps are noticed
and some are asleep?

Thanks again,
Dusty
