Re: [orca-list] Issues with the keys

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the messages. Both of those things helped out a lot. Nautilus 
runs much faster now that I removed the sidebar, and killing that 
Metacity directory seems to have stabelized the keyboard shortcuts. 
Those were two of my biggest complaints about Ubuntu 12 and I'm glad to 
know there are workarounds like this to resolve them.

Cheers!
