[orca-list] Question about Empathy Instant Messenger with Orca

["Mark Gilland" <clgilland07 gmail com>]

Hi.

Long time no talk.  I had a question about Empathy.  Maybe I'm just really 
stupid, but, what the heck happened to the status button in the contact 
list?  I can't find it anwhere.  I see a read only edit box, I think it is, 
right one tab past the tree view of contacts, but it doesn't do anything 
when I arrow on it, nor down arrow.

Also, I noticed that when instant messages arive, if I am not in the window 
of the chat session to start with, then Orca will read that I got a message, 
but I get no sound indicator, so if I'm out of the room, or doing something 
else on the system, odds I'll hear it are very slim.  I did enable all the 
sound events, every one of 'em, in preferences, but I still don't hear them.

Finally for my last comment, when in an IM window, nothing seems to read 
without the flat review commands.  Meaning, i can't hear incoming msgs 
automatically like i could in pidgin etc.  I'm wonderring if I could 
downgrade to pidgin, or is there just something I don't understand.  I must 
say upon my first look impressions of empathy, it might improve over time, 
but at least for now, until I get more help with this, I'm really not too 
impressed.

Thanks.
