I'd like to suggest to extend the file /etc/profile.d/at-spi2.sh suse/werner> rpm -qf /etc/profile.d/at-spi2.sh at-spi2-atk-common-2.16.0-2.2.x86_64 as well as o add a csh variant for this. That is not only to test for # currently there is no proper accessibility forwarding through SSH # so abort loading the module in an SSH session to avoid warnings if test -n "$SSH_TTY" -a -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ; then export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 fi but also to a GNOME variable
