Bug#683230: gnome-settings-daemon: Problem it Universal Access tab

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Hi,

Ok, it works. Modifying the file in /etc. Maybe the maintainer of orca
could suggest some patch upstream and ship it for Debian? Otherwise I
can try forwarding myself but I've no habits with bugzilla of gnome, I
don't often use it. But I can try if meeded.

Regards,


Jean-Philippe MENGUAL
