Re: [orca-list] Note to Arch Linux Users

I'll see if I can find anything out for the current situation.

However, I still stand by my original comment of surely 
speech-dispatcher should provide some way of configuring the client 
bindings or sensible defaults which work perfectly fine for the local 
usage case. This may not exist now, in which case it seems to be a bug 
in speech-dispatcher. IE. May be speech-dispatcher needs the bug 
report/enhancement request: "Speech-dispatcher needs to provide 
configuration files for client bindings libraries".

I personally have to say there are some things with speech-dispatcher I 
have never understood why they made the decision they did, but that's 
probably not for here.
