Note that 382c540 may need to be reverted. Hopefully not. But rather
than playing endless whac-a-mole with Atspi errors resulting from
whatever it is Synaptic is doing, I am sanity checking much earlier on
in the process. There is the possibility that doing so will cause other
badly-behaved apps to not be presented. :-/
I've asked on the Orca list for testing, and we have enough users that
use master and respond quite quickly to calls for testing, that we
should know soon enough.
I believe I've already said this, but I'll say it again: Getting to the
bottom of the Synaptic and/or AT-SPI problem(s) should be done.
(Something I'm afraid I don't have time for. Sorry!)
