Re: [orca-list] clamtk accessability

Yeah, it's misleading.  That description implies it's a gtk gui.  The name
makes you think of tkinter or TK which is an older library.  I've never
heard of anyone being able to use it successfully on any platform with an
assistive tech.  It's all around inaccessible as far as I know.  However,
that thing says Perl GTK so there's hope that it's just a bug.  If you used
it in Vinux, there's a setting that isn't in place somewhere undoubtedly.

Yes, ever since I realized that tk existed, (had only heard of gtk), I have
thought this a poor package name. 
Read the short discription from the Arch Linux AUR

GUI front-end for ClamAV using Perl and Gtk libraries. It is designed to be
an easy-to-use, on-demand scanner for
    Linux systems.

The same name is used in Ubuntu and I believe Debian repos, and I assume
across the Linux distros board. 
I certainly used this some with orca on Vinux3.x, but may not have scanned
anything on Ubuntu Precise or Vinux4.0/can't remember for sure. I may have
only used the clamAV backend on straight Debian a system, but may have used
it with gnome3.something once. (You see why I have tried to take more and
more notes as and need to take still more/self deprecating smile) There are
a couple more packages pulled in by the Ubuntu clamtk package, at least an
virus deffinitions updater, so perhaps something in the Ubuntu installation
tweaks the interface to be more accessible. I'll investigate when I swap
hard-drives back to Vinux to make sure that things are still usable there.
