Running the 4.5.0 dev version has also thrown up the GailWindow error. The 
analysis in the post I referenced above on Forum  (...p503634) indicates 
GailWindow to be in the Accessible GTK+ applications framework, as is the 
atk-bridge.

If the suggestion to which you refer (... msg00596) is relevant and eliminates 
need for ~500 lines of code then that would be a Good Thing!

(Off topic: A "Good Thing", in capital letters, is a normally reference to a 
comic history of England "1066 and All That", by WC Sellar and RJ Yeatman, 
[London 1930], which boiled all English history down into 103 Good Things, 5 
Bad Kings, and 2 Genuine Dates.  For people my age (now mid 70s), their 
division of history into Good Things and Bad Things greatly simplified the 
historical scene!)
