When I did a fresh install of Debian 7 on a brand new computer, I got an
accessible Gnome setup, complete with the old-style start menu out of the
box. I'm not sure what "magic" the installer did to accomplish this.

The problem you describe with orca just reading the menus and nothing
else sounds like what you get if you do not install the
gnome-session-fallback package. I think if you installgnome-orca and
gnome-session-fallback, it will basically work. Last time I tried
something like this, it took me a while to do all the tweaks you need to
do to get an accessible system. This is what makes distros like vinux
and sonar so valuable.

spHello all,
I have a debian system which I've been using for a while with emacs. I"m
managing to figure out most stuff on the CLI, but I'd really like
XWindows to fall back on for a messenger.
So I had a few questions, hopefully mostly related.
1. Any good solutions for installing gnome, assuming that's only what
debian works with? I can grab it from packages, but there are a lot of
versions. Is there a recommended dummy package?
2. Any good ideas for orca? Last time I installed gnome, I had no
desktop from what I could tell and orca could only work on the start menu.
3. Can I disable it from running at login so I just need to type startx?
How do people handle espeakup at that point, or even speakup?
Thanks,
