hi all I'm asking hear on behalf of a couple of blind and disabled users that have been trying to get fedora and sonar working on their laptops, but they report that as soon as the live systems boot up and they log in or the gnome desktops load, gnome immediately presents them with this dialog. I've seen this once or twice on my machine, and the only choice is to log out and then log back in. I'm writing hear to see if any gnome developers can give me some pointers as to what might be happening so I can try to fix this in sonar, and give them instructions on how to work around it in fedora. Most of them are using macs, which I don't own. One person says he gets this dialog if he doesn't have a screen connected. I'm wondering if maybe it has something to do with video card support? The one and only mac I have access to both fedora and sonar have worked flawlessly on, including wifi, sound and bluetooth. What causes this dialog to show up, and are there workarounds? Thoughts? Thanks Kendell clark

Without a crash report, we can't help. It will be tricky to get a crash report, but you can try switching to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F3 and then running abrt-cli to see if it's caught anything.

this is doable, I think. The main problem hear will be that speakup isn't available, so I'll have to do this blindly but I'll give that a shot. It's worth noting that I don't see this much on my machine. Thanks Kendell clark
