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

[Labrador <labrad0r edpnet be>]

Hi,

I'm not understanding why this problem should be distribution-related, it
isn't for brltty who gives us an equal accessibility whatever the o s
whichfore it have been packaged.

There are applications enough for Gnome using the keyring or gksu, etc, I
don't understand why Orca should be reduced to a game-alike thing for a too
specific group:
if Orca is a Gnome pack, then Gnome have to fix this because people must be
free to use any distribution, as I use brlty on grml, knoppix, vinux,
debian, etc.

thanx anyway for the Opensolaris info.

Gr,
Labrador.
