[orca-list] Problems with Orca and pidgin...seems to be an at-spi2-core issue

[Thomas Ward]

Hi,

Same here. So far the way Precise is going I am strongly planning on 
upgrading all my 10.04 LTS systems to 12.04 LTS as other than some 
annoyances I can live with Unity 2D and some of the access issues as 
they stand. I'm sure after 12.04 is released many of these things will 
get fixed upstream anyway as patches become available.
