Re: [orca-list] Can't get Orca start in a graphical environment started

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

Having run the mate accessibility enabling command I started startx 
again and had to run orca when mate came up.  I could run orca --replace 
and mate-terminal and mate-terminal gave me a $ prompt in a console 
window but outside of the terminal in g.u.i. mode I couldn't run 
commands that work in mate in archlinux.  It's like I would run a 
command and get no speech back from orca.  Probably it's possible to 
work in console on mate and while I have no problem with that many 
others who are not original command line interface users are about to 
experience serious difficulties.
orca --replace did replace the screen reader but insert-space which 
normally enters orca preferences did not work either.
