Re: [orca-list] Logout and shutdown dialogs inaccessible on Arch, good news

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

How did I figure it out? here's an answer for those who may be want to 
get more involved.

I logically approached it, asked a few questions (eg. where does it 
happen? Is it distro specific? etc). Having concluded that it possibly 
was a distro specific thing (as my debian system doesn't show it, I 
think the fedora liveCD doesn't show it, we haven't heard ubuntu users 
complain about it, there must be a fix out there (many of those have 
suffered from it in the past). So out with the browser and google, I 
came across a bug report for it on ubuntu which linked to the gnome bug 
where I found that suggestion of a possible cause. Checking whether the 
schema was installed revealed it wasn't so I tried installing it and it 
worked!

I will now try and see this to completion by reporting it to ArchLinux 
packagers. I don't know how long it will be before Arch fix this in the 
actual package, so may be you do want to note this on the wiki.
