I looked at it in gnome-boxes. It defaults to XFCE, and Orca comes up
normally using alt+super+s and shows its preferences window immediately.
It starts up with the Pico voice out of the box, which may be better for
some users than the default Espeak voice. Unfortunately I couldn't see
any desktop icons, even though I could see that the desktop  settings
allowed for icons on the desktop and I could even arrange them. Perhaps
it has to do with not being used to the way XFCE works, but I couldn't
get to any top bar or panels or anything else other than the main alt+f1
menu and the alt+f2 run window. Applications in these places do seem to
start without issues and work as expected, although I couldn't
immediately find the installer to see how well it would work. I tried to
log out and start the LXQT session to see what would happen, but the
regular user is locked with a password that doesn't appear to be documented.


So the accessibility in general seems OK, but it didn't work fully as I
expected, and I'm not sure if that had more to do with XFCE still
needing work or the fact that I'm just unfamiliar with it. Hopefully
someone more familiar with XFCE can comment further. For now, I
definitely still prefer MATE, and for that, Ubuntu-MATE or
Fedora-MATE-Compiz may be better options.
