1 I've had confirmation now that, upon the enabing of certain sound
2 notifications in Gnome 2.24 on Gentoo, Orca will crash. Noteably if you
3 enable the option to play a sound when a button is clicked. The only way
4 around it that I've been able to find, which unfortunately means I have
5 to set up Orca again, is to blow away the /home/james/.gconf directory
6 and start it over. Fortunately that's not what I'd call a huge problem
7 for me at this stage, and I know what not to enable in future.

9 I'm curious, though, to know if this is addressed in a later version of
10 Gnome and/or Orca. If yes, it might be worth the trouble of upgrading,
11 in spite of the fact Gentoo doesn't list 2.26 as stable yet. As said
12 earlier, any feedback or additional information on this would be
13 appreciated. I'm CCing the Gentoo accessibility list as well, in the
14 event it turns out to be an OS specific problem.
