Because of build issues I have not been able to test a11y with gnome-session HEAD.
Are you telling me that a11y is regressed severely in HEAD, as it sounds? GTK_MODULES alone will NOT work for the gnome desktop as a whole, since libgail-gnome should be selectively included. Elijah, why didn't you take this to the accessibility-devel-list?
