This may seem like a feeble accomplishment, but I managed to find out what AT-SPI means, and so might be able to figure out what "AT-SPI Registry Wrapper" means.
According to http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/atk.php#coreclasses AT-SPI is "Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface" and there are also descriptions of the architecture etc. Funny that an accessibility / usability component would make the mistake of having a name which is completely undecipherable to the uninitiated, and no description (as of 8.10). /usr/lib/gnome-session/helpers/at-spi-registryd-wrapper and the corresponding /usr/share/gnome/autostart/at-spi-registryd- wrapper.desktop are in the gnome-session package, so marking as "New" for gnome-session (or should I Be Bold and mark as "Confirmed"?) My proposed fix would be to add the English description "Framework for applications to interact with assistive technologies". I would be tempted to say "Gnome applications" or even "GTK+ applications" but ironically, the usability folks tend to shoot down anything which involves a technical acronym (but then the name field is barely anything but a technical acronym). ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- poor descriptions for some startup programs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
