GNOME still haven't accepted, or improved upon, the patch I submitted to
correct some of this by fixing an accessibility bug in GNOME-Terminal. It's
very frustrating to have a patch ignored for release after release, and
disappointing that the project isn't sufficiently well managed to take care of
it in a professional manner.

We're really fortunate that Orca is so well maintained and that bugs are
responded to so promptly. Regrettably, there are other projects (including
within GNOME) where this isn't the norm.
