Hi: I need a little hand-holding on this one for Orca. :-( Orca (http://live.gnome.org/Orca) is a screen reader for people with visual impairments. When I build/install Orca from SVN on Ubuntu using the existing orca desktop file, it ends up in the Applications->Accessibility menu.
I noticed that the desktop file for dasher (another assistive technology) was marked as 'not needed' for this GNOME Goal, so I just copied the relevant line from dasher's desktop file to orca's desktop file: Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Accessibility; I then validated the file and did an 'sudo make install'. Orca now ends up under the Applications->Accessories menu along with calculator, gedit, etc. Is this the right spot and is this the ultimate change to make for the orca desktop file? If it is, is this something that requires a code freeze break request, or is that implicit? Thanks!
