Re: [orca-list] Proposal: Eliminate the "gui setup" command line options

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

There's no reason Orca's, or any, for that matter, settings can't live 
where they still do, even though the most-common way to access them 
would be via the control center.  There's no reason 'orca+space' can't 
still  be a shortcut, usable anywhere.  As I see it, the control center 
is just a kind of link grouping applet.



Cheers,



Dave
