Re: [gnome-love] GNOME Goal #3, It's time to share your love!

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!

Will
