Bug#501407: gnome-core should depend on at-spi

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:2.22.2~5
Severity: normal

If one enables assistive technologies on a default lenny desktop
install, the gnome session does not correctly start anymore.  It ends up
with a light blue (?) empty screen.  One has to manually disable
assistive technoligies again and to kill the session.

With 'at-spi' installed, everything is fine.

I have been tempted to raise the severity since this can render a
graphical user session unusable, i.e., an important bug?

Cheers, Jens
