Re: [orca-list] I'm getting real tired of apps run as root being inaccessible

hi
The current syable version of mumble uses qt4, but they're transitioning
over to qt5 in the git version, so eventually the stable version will
use qt5. I didn't try the qt_accessibility=1 option for qt5, but I can
try it.

I *think* it's only for qt4 but it isn't going to hurt to try it. I
should probably add that to profile.d so that even as root it gets
exported. I've ust asked the mate devs to look in gnome's
settings-daemon and see if they can figure out the code that dynamically
loads the gtk modules. No response yet but it is early.

Thanks
Kendell Clark
