Re: [orca-list] Resp.: Admin Features for Slackware Users

["Steve Holmes" <steve holmesgrown com>]

This brings up some questions.  My previous examples had quotes around the
GTK... and this example does not; does this make a difference? I also see +=
in previous examples; this one doesn't does that also make a difference?
Finally, you have Default:john (where john is the user); I haven't seen user
in there before.  Does that also make a difference? I already have the
.orbitrc built and the sudoers file set up based on the previous examples
shown on this list.  I'm at work in windows right now so can't check this
out for myself yet.

Thanks for the help though.
