Re: [orca-list] any accessible dash pane like app in Mate?

I'd think you'd be better off keeping the basic configuration as light as possible as many run mate to avoid 
stressing limited system resources.
You could ofcourse put it on your images as a file and either tell users to run dpkg -i or script it and 
binde script to a desktop icon that'd go away 
after it is installed, or even better toggle install and uninstall so that folks could compare performance 
with and with out it.
