I like the idea of the select group to hold all speakup settings. This would improve security issues in general, I think. I like the concept of using /sys/accessibility/speakup/clip or whatever to hold a file name that could then be used and owned by a specific user but I also understand the downside to this as was pointed out earlier in this thread. I wonder if tiing this business to virtual consoles wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean, think about it. First off, speakup would never be used by a remote user like over ssh; at least I can't imagine such a case. As I think about it right now, I would think that could be an excellent way to secure this aspect. If the speakup cut/paste feature is accessing the resource, any other users currently using the system are mostlikely not on the virtual consoles and would probably have no idea it was in use. I think the big question is how to get this speakup buffer over to the X clipboard. Xclip is an excellent program to do the job but this requires the shell AFAIK and the speakup clipboard could be piped into xclip somehow.
