Re: Orca Another gaim problem

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Does Linux have something similar to tool tips in Windblows? Do they pop
up while hovering the mouse over them? If so you could make an auto
labeling feature for labeling icons that had tool tips by having some
sort of logic find the tool tip and labeling the icon with that tip. All
major screen readers in Windows have this feature but is it at all
doable in Linux?
