Re: [orca-list] Don't upgrade to GNOME 3.30 or Gtk+ 3.23 for now

[John Covici <covici ccs covici com>]

Orca is working much better now that I am using v 3.22.30, however its
very slow particularly when an application starts.  Right now I am
using 2.26.2 of the atspi infrastructure, gnome-shell  3.24.3 and the
latest pyatspi2 from git.

I hope these are the correct things.
