hi all
Just had the opportunity to test latest updates to f22. The status
icons are indeed back. The icons are there but are inaccessible. It's
possible the patches in the bug posted here haven't been added yet,
and if so I apologize. There is a very important problem in gdm that
imo needs to be fixed before 3.16, despite the code freeze. Orca is
unable to read the login screen. It simply can't see the gdm window. I
think, but don't know for sure, that this is because it's using
wayland. I can report a bug if needed, but I won't be of much help,
since all I know is orca doesn't read it, not why or how to provide
debug info. I will of  course help however I can.
Thanks
