Hey guys.

Yeah, I'm pretty jazzed. I'm still in the "building from scratch whilst
taking notes" stage, but hopefully I'll have something to post soon.

XFCE wants gtk+ 2. The orca-xdesktop branch likewise does not depend on
gtk+ 3. Having said that....

Any chance you could dig that stuff up in Arch? I'd really like to see
the introspection changes get some proper, thorough end-user testing
before code freeze. Mainly to make sure that I didn't miss or break
anything (it was a huge change). But I'd also like to get some feedback
on the performance improvements that we seem to have gotten just by
doing the introspection work. Orca seems a lot snappier to me now.

Thanks and take care.
