This is a broken hack that should have been killed long ago, should never have been allowed into libgnome at all since it means that gtk-only apps need to either cut-and-paste the code or just not be accessible, despite having all the other a11y code already in gtk. It can be done with e.g. a GTK_MODULE instead, iirc. or perhaps an xsetting type of deal to get the gconf flag into gtk itself. I remember threatening long ago to kill the cut-and-paste from metacity after a release or two if nobody fixed this properly; Elijah, you should do that, I think it's been maybe two years or more! Fortunately Elijah is probably nicer than me and won't enforce the threat ;-) There's a metacity bug about it iirc. This has got to be a perfect poster child for why maintainers should reject broken half-measures on grounds that nobody will fix it properly once you accept a broken patch.
