No extra step (like copying a desktop file over) should be needed. (BTW, I'm not sure how tricky it is to enable that very option. Maybe Orca, when installed, should be launched in any cases, and could be made opt-out: people not wanting it could just click a “please, never start Orca again” button on their very first session. That would make the default session accessible on the first run, which I think would be nice.) Mraw, KiBi.
