Re: [orca-list] Problems with Orca and pidgin...seems to be an at-spi2-core issue

Tohmas, your observations re:  Pidgin agree wit mine.  I had given up on 
Empathy a while ago, but wasn't sure whether the accessibility issues with 
it had been fixed.  Appears not.  I use Pidgin, in Trisquel, for 
facebook chat, irc, and 
instant messaging.  The twitter plugin works well, too, but I prefer 
another twitter client.

What of Thunderbird access?  Since my distro pushed T-bird to 11, it is no 
longer useful.  Am glad Alpine is still around!



Cheers,



Dave
