Re: [orca-list] Open suse latest version with orca? Setting up orca on live cd? And accessible installer?

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

Ugh! I thought I'd tested and been able to install either 12.1 or a beta 
of it, but I could be misremembering. Anyway, I just tested and couldn't 
get _any_ applications to appear accessible, except Orca. I'm wondering if 
the user needs to log out and back in and Orca doesn't actually log the 
user out. I'll test more when I'm back home (I'm out of town until 
Thursday).
