Re: [orca-list] Plugin system gsettings Migration

I feel like Orca should b e desktop agnostic. That way it can reach as 
many people as is possible. There's already a mindset among certain 
blind users that even if a desktop (like say, Budgie right now) uses the 
Gnome ATK stack, it isn't accessible because it isn't Gnome or Mate, 
both of which have access issues.

So if Orca is desktop and distro agnostic, it can work across as many 
desktops with Gnome's ATK stack as possible and allow as many people as 
possible to use Orca no matter what DE they are using. Okay, okay, I'm 
biased. I got my own custom Ratpoison Arch setup and I like being able 
to go in and tweak my Orca settings on the fly as needed. So no. I'm 
against Orca's settings being tied to one specific desktop. That's 
locking it down. I'm fine with Orca being part of Gnome's AK stack, and 
having that as part of /any/ desktop.

Linux is, after all, about choice. If anything we need more desktops to 
work with Orca, not less so people have a lot more choices in how they 
use their computers. Gnome is /not/ a lightweight DE, that'd also lock 
folks with older hardware from being able to use the plugin,
