[orca-list] [CBLX] Slint 14.2.1rc2, last call for testing.

I have an x86-64 system with an hdmi card in it. If slint was already
tested on one of these and results returned I'll leave this one alone
otherwise I'll install and test and see what happens with accessibility.
I'll be interested to find if that hdmi card breaks any of the
accessibility.
