[orca-list] [Fwd: Default button of Orca]

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanied gnome org>]

Hey all.

Sorry to be a noodge, but I have a downstream request for us to change
the default button in Orca's main window. As I stated there, I
personally think that the default button in Orca's main window should
remain Preferences and not Help. But I'm willing to change that if
everyone thinks I should. The one thing I'd really like to avoid,
however, is different downstreams making different customizations. The
Orca user experience should be predictable and consistent. For both of
these reasons, feedback on this request -- either here or downstream --
would be appreciated. The downstream bug is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-orca/+bug/749700
