Re: [orca-list] two inaccessible mate native applications

hi
I've just confirmed that mapping mate's notification daemon to
notification-daemon fixes the notifications. I can't believe I never
tried this. Mapping atril to evince, however, doesn't. If you want to
try this for yourself and you're running orca master, insert the
following code into script_manager.py, making sure the indentation is
correct.              'mate-notification-daemon':       
'notification-daemon',
 Save and close, then compile orca from source. Make sure that, if you
have installed notify-osd, remove it, it's no longer needed.
 Anyone who's using sonar, if this gets merged into orca upstream, I'll
make sure an orca updated package is released with the fix, assuming I
can get joanie to commit this to the gnome 3.18 branch. I will also
release new mate images since this is a critical fix that the current
one doesn't have.
Thanks
