Orca FW: Is the Update-manager accessible with ?

["Ian Pascoe" <softy lofty ilp btinternet com>]

Hi Hermann

Once you get pass the password screen, it starts quite accessable.

However, once you've selected the Check button to see if there are any
updates waiting, and then select to do the update accessability gradually
disappears.

What is slightly more concerning is that whilst it is performing the update
Orca doesn't respond at all - I presume this is a "safety feature" in case
one of the updates is to Orca or a dependancy?    Once completed,
accessability returns to the desktop, but not fully to the Update Manager.

I highlighted this on the Ubuntu list at the beginning of the month, and
there have been a couple of other postings about other system applications
that eithre have no accessability or very little apparently built in.

If I understand the methodology correctly, when a control gets focus it
needs to pass it's information to it's host application, and that
application in turn passes the information to AT-SPI and thence into Orca.

I have been pondering on this for some time.  It would seem logical that the
Gnome developers use a common language to develop the Gnome apps, so how
difficult would it be to have a common library so that the app developers
can pick their controls with the necessary AT-SPI stuff already coded in,
and have the application base modules already have the AT-SPI interface
pre-built in?  This would mean that any GUI application built would
instantly have the necessary interfaces in it, and we as a community
wouldn't struggle so much.

sorry to go away from your original question Herman<smile>

Hi,
I tried to update my system with the update-manager in
system/administration.
When you check for new updates, you have to enter your password (which
one, user or root?)
When I enter the user-password, the system seems to freeze, and only
logging out and in again brings it back.
Can the update-manager be used with Orca at all?
Regards
Hermann
