Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: libreoffice 3.5 inaccessible

I forgot to ask, the keyboard sequence sent can turn java support on or 
off, what would be a sequence to use to find out which jre is in use and 
find out if it has accessibility enabled?  I have java support turned on 
now, since enable accessibility didn't complain about java support being 
turned off when I tried to turn assistive technology support on.
