Re: [orca-list] MATE notifications

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

It's worth noting that I recently received the following comment on a
bug report that I filed regarding the notifications not being reported
to Orca. If I read it right, they are aware of the problem, but aren't
exactly sure of the cause. They are working to fix it however.

I can make the notification read by changing Gtk+'s window from
 GTK_WINDOW_POPUP to GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL. But I do not understand why
windows of type GTK_WINDOW_POPUP are ignored by orca .See below for
quick hack to change the window type for the standard theme.diff --git
