That's a bit torrent client. It has a CLI and a GUI front end available
in two separate ubuntu packages, bittornado and bittornado-gtk, i think
it was called.

1. make sure you have the Java runtime and the java access bridge
installed.
2. Go to File|Wizards and from there choose "agenda..." There should pop
up a dialog box where you can change settings for things as participants
in a meeting and so on and so forth, but Orca can't see that dialog,
only the template of the agenda. It doesn't matter if you minimize
windows that could be in the way. Orca doesn't reach that dialog anyway.

Ok.

Yes, but i didn't want to abuse the bug filing system if i had only made
a stupid mistake on my end, would be kinda unnecessary, don'tcha
think?:-)
