Re: [orca-list] The most accessible linix version to use with Orca?

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

You can't modify orca configuration settings in ubuntu-mate and save
those modifications.  You have to use gsettings to get at orca
configuration and change them so they're saved.  Garden variety ubuntu
in 19.10 does the same thing.  In earlier versions of ubuntu this was
not the case, you could make your changes inside orca and save those
changes.
