Could you tell me your view on > this and what your motivation for posting the patch was to better > help me understand your situation? dasher is a critical piece of software for some people who couldn't use their computer without it. Other than this FTBFS, I don't think it's in a bad state (unless I missed something). So I'd say we should fix this bug and ship it, or let the accessibility team (co-)maintain this (as they do with Orca) and give us a hand with it, if they want to do that. Cheers, Emilio
