Thank you very much for your answer, but the problem seems to be the relationship between Orca and XFCE, not Xubuntu or Edubuntu. :( Cheers, -- Mírian Bruckschen -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Re: Fwd: Orca on XFCE, using Xubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn"
Hi Mírian: Well...I don't know much about about XFCE, such as what version of GNOME it has, whether it supports the AT-SPI infrastructure or not, etc. I think you're doing the right thing by posing this question to a larger audience, and I hope someone more familiar with XFCE can help.

I followed these instructions to install Orca in my Xubuntu system :) After installing, however, to make it run under XFCE, are there any ideas of where I can start? I would be happy to help in this matter, for sure. I'm a kind of long term XFCE user, but a new GNOME/Orca user. :) Thanks for any suggestions, -- Mírian Bruckschen PS: I only asked for "Orca under XFCE" 'cause I thought Orca relied on GTk, not GNOME only (or mainly GNOME, don't know). But yes, in this project we'll certainly stick to GNOME, due to everybody's suggestions.

Re: Fwd: Orca on XFCE, using Xubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn"
Hi Mírian: The primary target platform for Orca is GNOME, which is integrated into many different operating system distributions. The Orca team is small and is unable to do testing/integration coverage of all operating system distributions out there. Instead, we primarily use two platforms: Ubuntu and Open Solaris. Orca is a community project, however, and we encourage others to help us with testing and using Orca on all sorts of platforms. As you gain experience with XFCE, it would be great if you could include your notes off the following page: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/DownloadInstall.

Fwd: Orca on XFCE, using Xubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn"
Hi all, I sent the message below to orca-list, but perhaps here is the right place to post it. And, if Orca won't run in XFCE right now, are there any plans for make it work, or is it really unfeasible? Thank you very much for any thoughts, -- Forwarded message -- From: Mírian Bruckschen Date: Aug 8, 2007 8:39 PM Subject: Orca on XFCE, using Xubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" Hi all, I'm using XFCE 4.4.0 on Xubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn", and trying to use Orca screen reader with them. I'm working on a project with children with visual and learning disabilities, and XFCE seemed to us more feasible than GNOME due to computational resources issues. I have a few questions, guess it's the right list to post them. :) Is there anybody there using XFCE with Orca? How well does it work? I'm currently using Orca's latest version (from SVN, just got it yesterday) with eSpeak pt voice, and even though my Firefox' (still 2.0) window titles are correctly spoken, the XFCE menu options aren't. Also, Orca's screen and messages aren't read. Is there any configuration I'm missing, or this is known not to work under XFCE? We won't be using Firefox right now in this project, so I didn't bother to install version 3.0 yet, but the menu options and a few GTK applications (yet to be developed) are expected to work. Does anybody have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, or what can I do to make it work?
