I can see how this is saddening. > And i Am convinced, that it is not require complex modiffications of > at-spi components, Orca source code or even XFCE source code. I am not very familiar with XFCE but what I know from GNOME, I am guessing for accessibility of the XFCE specific desktop gadgets like panels or whatever there is there are usually some modifications necessary. After all, these programs need to tell at-spi about what they are presenting. > The facts related to Orca cooperation and XFCE are as follows: > > 1.

Hmm, might be that at-spi (as you guessed below) might not be running. The orca preferences dialog, being written with GTK2, should be accessible, regardless of the window manager you are using. > 5.

Yes, its definitely possible. What you need to get this started is someone knowledgeable enough with XFCE internals to start working on accessibility for it. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[email protected] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
