xfce accessibility



Hello,

I have just tried a bit xfce with Orca, it seems to be technically
working: by using

export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge

before starting the xfce session and orca, I could see orca being able
to read what I could think of: application menu, control panel, the
alt-f2 "run" window. The default terminal is xterm, thus not accessible,
but that's easily configurable into gnome-terminal.

The application menu is not bound to a keyboard shortcut by default,
only control-esc will bring you the desktop menu, which contains the
application menu but it's a bit cumbersome.  A keyboard shortcut can
easily be defined to start xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu to get direct
access to the application menu.

So people can probably have a look, test, and report things to the xfce
upstream.

Samuel
