Hello, Regarding orca not reading the contents of windows, etc (what leads to orca only announcing key presses) I have a sort of solution. Before saying what I needed to do, this fix will make orca still use at-spi over corba. I know that the intention was to have fedora 14 use at-spi over dbus but as time is running out, I have been unable to find a solution using at-spi over dbus and there shouldn't be any difference to the user at the moment (if anything at-spi-corba is more likely to be reliable as at-spi-dbus is in early days), it may be worth considering this so we at least have a working orca. The solution: * Once I booted the fedora 14 beta LiveCD, I start gnome-terminal. * Still as the liveuser I do the following command to set the gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba to true: gconftool-2 --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-corba true * Then using su to become root, I install at-spi-python using yum: yum --assumeyes install at-spi-python * Finally I logout and back in (I think this is needed for the gconf key change (to ensure the correct at-spi is used). Now when I run orca it reads the screen fine. I also get orca not going through the initial setup questions, but I wonder whether that is really such a problem if reasonable defaults are used (particularly as we are on a LiveCD).
