But I think this problem is like most problems in life -- nobody is going to solve it for you. Sometimes complaining works. I wouldn't count on it though. Yeah, taking over oralux might be a good idea. I'll contact the maintainer of oralux. I've corresponded with him before. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Grimsby Jr." To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'"
