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

I support Alan's request to set the help button as the default button. We can give new users instructions 
on how to access preferences when orca starts, and all being well, the user should be able to navigate help 
with arrow keys, assuming the distro has set up caret navigation in yelp, and if not, then perhaps Orca 
should check this prior to launching yelp, and enable it.

 hm, so your assuming a new user would know that they can use the arrow
 keys to read and enter or space to activate the button, but not that
 they can change what button they are on with tab (?!)  I atleast for
 one find that to be a pretty odd set of assumptions.

having orca automatically touch a users yelp config on startup seems
like a bad idea to me that an app shouldn't decide to do on its own.
