Re: [orca-list] Orca key wiped out today

["Albert Sten-Clanton" <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

Alex, thanks for the good wishes.  Yes, the waters have often been rough,
and I expect that to continue.  I guess I'm supposed to be *thrilled* with
the opportunities, but maybe I'm not a real geek.  :-)

So far, the storms have almost all been from trying to figure out Gnome
3.4.2 or whatever it is, and Orca itself.  Fedora doubtless has its own
surprises, but I chose it carefully for a couple of reasons, and presumably
will stick with it for a while.

I was glad to find that my few key bindings additions work, by the way.

Boy!  That Fedora machine's putting you through the wringer there, Al.
 Hope that OS proves worth all the trouble it's putting you through.
I started experimenting with keyboard layouts over the weekend with Debian
and Ubuntu and did so with a great deal of trepidation remembering your
rather unpleasant experience last week.  Let's hope it's smooth sailing for
you henceforth.

best Regards,
alex M
