Hi Petr.
I think what you are interested in are "notifications", not tooltips.
If you are using the latest development version of Orca, those
notifications should be announced as they appear. If you are using a
laptop, a good test to see if notifications are announces, is by pulling
the power plug from the laptop, a notification regarding the laptop's
power should be announced.
Tooltips are traditionally short messages associated with controls that
will give a brief description of the function of the control. If a
control has a tooltip, it could be invoked with Control+F1.
Cheers,
Eitan.

Hello, i am currently new to Orca and Ubuntu Linux, but would like to ask if Orca can automatically read tooltips in applications or if I am on the desktop. I checked the item labelled "Present tooltips" in Orca preferences, but don't see any changes to Orca's behavior. Namely, I would like to get to those tooltips regarding automatic updates and thus see if any updates are available, without running the update manager periodically on demand. Also, I began using Gaim for ICQ communication and I let him to minimize on the system tray. However, I cannot see its icon anywhere, it is not announced on the tray. So is there any way how to get this info or solve these problems? Using Orca 2.21, Ubuntu 7.04. Regards, Petr ÅehÃk -- Adaptech s. r. o.
