Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

From the original bug filed in gnome.org's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468613

----
When analyzing the icons in the "Add to panel" dialog using at-poke and/or
accerciser, I notice the icons showing on the screen only have the AT-SPI
VISIBLE state. Icons showing on the screen should have both the state SHOWING
and VISIBLE states.
----

The gnome-panel team indicated that this was a Ubuntu bug. I have since confirmed that this bug does not exist when using gnome-panel from GNOME's svn trunk. It seems that the Ubuntu patched version is preventing this state from being exposed. This impacts the ability of screen readers such as Orca to provide access to this dialog.

Do you know if that's due to gnomecanvas or something the dialog is doing wrong?

Joanie, is it the case that this worked as expected in Feisty?

Henrik, actually it turns out that it was broken in Feisty as well.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
