Re: [orca-list] problem with panels on archlinux

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Alonzo:

This is not something I can investigate further. :-(  I don't have an
archlinux machine.  I think the best thing to do would be to ask the
archlinux folks for some help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/

They may be unfamiliar with accessibility.  If that's the case, they are
unlikely to pay attention to it or address it until community members
ask them for support.
