They use CORBA bindings, which on the client side are usually fairly

Hi Steve,
The at-spi hides nasty stuff like CORBA behind an API. In early days we

C library libspi. I imagine you are most interested in python bindings
-- which I haven't used (yet).
Note, gok hasn't migrated from cspi
Hi David, Steve:
I think there are two aspects to Steve's question. One aspect has to do
with the exact API call syntax that the client uses to access AT-SPI,
which I think is what you are referring to. The raw C CORBA bindings
are a bit ugly (while the python ones are elegant) but don't
Well I was really making a fairly general question ignoring the layers and
