Hello and thanks to Attila, Dave Andy etc.
Sure enough, after having the quickstart checked as instructed I have
all office softwares like calc loading faster.
But I am afraid, nothing more has come out from this change.
The problems of row header not getting set with capslok +r still
persists along with all the problems I reported.
I have 12.04 updated till date so that can't be the reason.
Should I also update my Orca version?
it is currently at 3.4.0

happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
