Actually, no. Orca is supposed to provide a blind-friendly, hotkey-driven new "Layout" for blind people in a way that changes to the visible GUI are _not_ not necessary. There is no special "blind mode" in firefox either, but it works well with orca. > If that special mode is enabled, the UI can be adjusted to fit what's > needed by orca. All we need right now are keyboard shortcuts for accessing lxpanel plugins, i.e. pop up their menus without using the mouse. > Otherwise other users still see the original UI. > This require more work, but I think it's the right way to make things > work for both blind people and general users. Personally, I would point out that the mouse-oriented desktop is in general not optimal for blind people (though many may disagree). Our ADRIANE text-menu audible desktop is especially designed for them. But since lxde is a grahical desktop, we should at least attempt to make it accessible without changing many things. As said before, I believe that adding keyboard shourcuts for accessing things that can otherwise only be activated by mouseclicks, should be sufficient to make lxde fully orca-compliant.
