Re: [orca-list] Another call for testing master

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Hey Peter, I want to thank you for that excellent write-up concerning
Orca, Arch and xfce. I've been generally curious about using xfce
instead of gnome but I now have full gnome installed because I want to
use the nautilus dropbox plug-in and stuff so am probably stuck with
gnome right now but sill, I'm glad xfce is a workable alternative and
I may look into it in the near future.

As a further question here, to test latest master, do we have to
install git builds of other a11y stack or can we generally stick with
prod builds of other components? Last time I messed with all the under
pinnings of Orca I ended up having to do a complete re-install of my
system and I really don't wanna go there again.
