Re: [orca-list] IMPORTANT: Testing needed for a patch to fix how Orca starts/restarts

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I see your point now.  Yes, the patch made the version information
work correctly and when I did a --help, I got the desired help
messages.  I had no crashes or loss of speech.  Actually, when I did
these tests with 2.30.2, I had no crashes nor losses of speech but did experience
some strangeness with restarting of Orca and getting thrown into the
configuration dialog.  I had no idea about those other pygtk messages
showing up like that but I haven't run orca from the command line in a
very long time so don't know when that other junk got introduced.  

So to make this long story short, your changes work and the other side
effects were already there.
