Re: [orca-list] In Ubuntu 10.04, when Orca is running, impossible to make USB startup disk with usb-creator-gtk application

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

I have scanned the gtk frontend code and if I am reading it correctly. 
THey use separate wrapped threads for the progressbar, retry dialog, 
failure dialog, and success dialog.  I suspect this is the problem we are 
seeing and I don't know how to test it or let the maintainers know.
