Yes, that seems to work.  I will update the bug report acordingly.  My
only suggestion here would be to use 'git format-patch ...' to create
the patch because then a simple 'git am' will apply and commit the
change for me.  With this one, I did 'git apply' but then had to do a
separate 'git commit -a'' to commit.  Anyway, just my way of doing git
stuff.

I never had thought of trying that key combination before.  That did
work for me.  I'll have to check again but I don't think some of the
other controls identified themselves; I think it was mainly saying,
"Icon" but the shutdown options did identify correctly.  I didn't go
into that dialog but I would imagine that to work fine.

Yes, I did and I never lost speech.  Wonder what you fixed there:).  I
went into Orca and was able to change several default options
including which speech voices to use.  It's all pretty cool now.
