Re: Orca on Edgy -- update

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Yeah Henrik!  Thanks much again for all your support.

At the GNOME Boston 2006 accessibility summit, we came up with an idea
that we'd like to propose to distributions that provide accessible
installs:  if an accessible install is used, enable accessibility
support (i.e., the /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility gconf setting)
in the default gconf schemas.  This will prevent the need to re-enable
accessibility for your login session.

What do you think of this?
