Re: [orca-list] Using Orca with root permissions

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Labrador:

Unfortunately, this is somewhat off topic from Orca itself.

In my opinion, however, this is unfortunately an accessibility 
integration problem with the distributions and you should air your 
grievances with them on their discussion lists.

Having said that, the distribution I focus on is OpenSolaris, and we've 
done a fair amount of work to make sure accessibility is integrated well 
in it:

The discussion group is here, which is where OpenSolaris-specific 
discussions should happen:
