Actually TopKeys was done in Java using Swing and maybe it works just as well on other systems like Linux and so on. Have not tryed it. Also TopKeys needs some important improvements like the ability to use it and the mouse at the same time. At the moment when you are running TopKeys you cannot use

Hi Sorry Will that does not work for me. The desktop hangs as described in my previous mail. When I change to a tty and type killall gksu, the application which was started through gksu works and is accessible. Try to start gdmsetup through its starter under system properties. I think it's called

Hi Bryen: The de facto keys for enabling other keyboard enhancement features are: 1) Press the shift key 5 times in a row to enable/disable StickyKeys 2) Press and hold the shift key for 8 seconds to enable/disable SlowKeys The other features (e.g., BounceKeys and RepeatKeys) can be enabled/disa

I just updated my Intrepid box as of a few minutes ago. I found that I still needed a ~root/.orbitrc file and that I needed to disable the gksu keyboard grab. Once I did these two things, I was able to use Orca to access a gcalctool launched with "gksu gcalctool". Prior to making those changes,

Is this problem caused by the fact that GConf now depends on D-Bus, and when you run a GUI via gksu, the root-running process can't connect to the D-Bus session? If so, running "dbus-launch --exit-with-session (cmd)" instead of just "(cmd)" might work better. Brian Unfortunately most applica
