Re: "[window title] inaccessible": where does it come from, and what does it mean?
That's logic in Orca. The Marco "support" in Orca is simply mapping
things over from the old GNOME 2.x days with Metacity. And there is a
sad hack or three in Orca due to issues in Metacity. Therefore, if you
could file a bug against Orca and attach a full debug.out, I'll look
into it. Thanks!
