Re: [orca-list] MATE accessibility leaps forward by copying a script directory

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Good news for sure. 
Actually these this wasn't an important consideratin forme personally, but I know others were much more 
bothered by the 
issues that should now be fixed with this. 
I wonder if there's anything to be learned from this that can effect other window managers, namely flpuxbox?
Thanks guys for reporting this.
