Re: [orca-list] Empathy and Orca

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Unless I missed a setting somewhere, when someone starts a chat with 
you, a conversation window is not automatically created, as in Pidgin. 
You get a  system notification and very-quiet alert tone, however.  If 
you happen to have caught the notification and noticed the name of the 
person who started the chat, you can go to the contact list and hit 
'enter' on that person's name; a window, containing the earlier 
comments, will open, and you can chat as in Pidgin.  When in a chat 
window, the keys 'orca+f1' through 'orca+f10' read the most-recent, the 
one before that, and before, ...  just like in pidgin.  Also, unless 
there's been improvement somewhere, you can't see buddys' status in the 
contact list.  Finally, I could not seem to answer requests for audio 
chats, for instance, with jabber contacts.



HTH,



Dave
