Re: [orca-list] Orca with Dropline Gnome 2.20 not working

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Adam:

Thanks for raising this issue.

The latest Orca from SVN trunk has some fixes in it for this problem. 
In response to your e-mail, Rich also just made a change to the 
gnome-2-20 branch of Orca to address this for Orca 2.20.3, which will be 
coming out next week.

Rich just added the needed line
