Bug#798206: gnome-orca: Binding to report notifications does not work

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 3.16.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I use orca 3.16 here, with MATE desktop.


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

1. ins-space
2. Create 3 bindings in Bindings tab:
- ins-f8 for speaking previous notification message;
- ins-f9 for speaking latest notif message
- ins-f10 to have notif messages list

3. Save. 
4. On an IRC client in MATE, be highlighted by someone. O!ca reads the notif.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

If you issue ins-f8 f9 f10, orca says: "not notification message"

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

It should speak the latest message, at least.

Attached a patch which will likely be applied upst!eam. Could you apply it to the Debian release?
It fixes the problem. This feature is quite useful. The Debian sackage should
ship it via patch before the next Orca release. All the more as it's a small
patch, I applied in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/scripts/apps/notification-daemon/script.py
I also pasted it here:

Minor change. Really it'd be nice to apply. You could apply too for Jessie.

Thanks

Regards,
