Re: [orca-list] Orca changes the keyboard mapping.

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hi Joanie,

I forgot to tell: Orca is started this way:
didier[~]$ cat .config/autostart/startorca.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Name=orca
Exec=/usr/bin/orca
Hidden=false

I also tried in LXDE, same behavior as in other
graphical environments.
