Re: [orca-list] installing GTK4 == breaking stuff

[Alex ARNAUD <aarnaud hypra fr>]

    GTK4 is not released yet so it's normal it couldn't work correctly.
    
    Why do you mean by "GTK4 is not accessible anyway", the GTK team is
    working on accessibility for GTK4 and we'll be pleased to have
    feedback on any a11y problem you've encounter.
    
    Thanks in advance.
