Re: [orca-list] Gdm 3 and Orca configuration

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Those instructions seem to match very much with the archlinux 
instructions on the orca wiki I pointed you to. This just seems to go 
with what I had been saying before that gdm3 is simply a packaging name 
from debian. If you still believe it is different as you have said up to 
now, please point me to the homepage/original source for gdm3 as I 
cannot find it on the gnome ftp server and a google search seems to 
bring up debian results.
