[orca-list] Mate/GTK/follow up to my new to list stuff

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Not sure what to subject this and since my Thunderbird was awesome and 
lost my new to list emails.....I'll make my points here.


Alright I'll take back some of my complaining about Mate, the caveat is 
it is Antergos's customized version, I find it IMHO easier to use than a 
pure vanilla one, I added the Brisk menu and that makes it a ton more 
useable.


Now for my question/worry I broke something....

I initially installed Antergos as a Gnome base on both systems so Orca 
was up and going, then I added the Mate and mate-extras stuff and that 
all installed fine, everything* works great with Orca fully speaking it, 
but if I fire up Pidgin....it acts like a blank window under Mate. I 
honestly don't recall if I had the same issue if I only installed Mate 
but I'm fairly sure I did and I don't recall how to fix it at all, so if 
any of you list people know,, I'm all ears.

Lastly, Virtualbox, under Mate, is it easy to use? I know somebody who 
has it running under Ubuntu but being over on Arch I'm not sure


Also, I've been reading the 'orca is slow when opening a folder with a 
ton of files', I'd like to ask if that's been checked on different 
specs/desktops/etc and if it's more a hardware and software thing, or 
just an Orca thing?
