Re: [orca-list] Mate 1.12 accessibility

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

Thanks much, and sorry for posting my questions before I tried a couple of things. 
As you all may see I replied to my own question a bit, i.e. I did see what gksu offers one when run with out 
an option or argument.
I still have not run this where I know I have had problems and where I may, i.e. on my arch box running a 
custom GUI, and on mate on Vinux5 which is  an 
optimized version of Ubuntu trusty with three desktop options, unity, gnome and mate. I am writing this on 
the vinux box, but running unity at the 
moment.
Your message is clear to me now thanks to your update and my trial.
