Hi Opie,
When running gnopernicus, I have tried to enter yast and also gnome control center, but gnopernicus says no menu bars, and no other hints I'm in the control centers, both of them. is there a work around for this? I usually would type in some commands into Konsole and its done, but I'd like to do it easier threw the control centers.
As Bill Haneman wrote recently in response to a simliar question: Gnopernicus can only read that information which is provided by the accessibility interfaces (specifically AT-SPI) of the programs it is interacting with. In other words - the applications need to support accessibility.
Qt applications like yast do not (yet) do this. That is changing with KDE 4 coming soon, but we aren't there yet. Meanwhile some of the older GNOME applications like the control center are based on an older version of the GNOME GTK+ libraries that are likewise not implementing the accessibility interfaces.
We expect that over time most of the interesting applications will implement the accessibility interfaces (and quite a few do so already), but we aren't all the way there yet.
