Great, thanks for this info! I wonder, why is this IMHO ver essential
information not present in the OO wiki? Well, it may not be ONLY
accessibility related, but once someone has searched for several days to
find out why OO starts with the at-spi bridge ONLY under gnome, while
firefox does this without setting any special variables, it would be a
great help if a small paragraph about this was added to the wiki at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Accessibility
In fact, I just took the freedom to do this. Hope this is OK with you.

Sure, thanks for doing this. I personally never tried to run Orca together with
OOo on KDE, so I am happy to read that it works.
As other GTK applications seem to work for you, you probably already have
the GTK_MODULES variable set to "gail:atk-bridge", but double-checking
doesn't hurt ;-).
Interestingly, this variable is not set for me by default, yet firefox
and most other gtk programs work fine with orca. This may be related to
the fact that I had set the "start ATK automatically" feature in the
gnome-control center, which also affects gconf, which seems to start
automatically when gnome-apps are started (even without gnome itself).
gail is the ATK implementation for gtk, so "start ATK automatically" seems to do
the same thing as setting the GTK_MODULES variable to "gail:atk-bridge". Which
means you probably do not need to set this variable for OOo as well.
Regards,
Oliver
