Re: First impressions of accessible Debian

I just installed Debian netinst with the desktop environment.
I like the new accessible installer in that I'm able to get a basic
system up and running.
However, I've encountered the following problems in the first few
minutes of using the new system:
1. After boot, speakup starts reading all the boot messages, most of
which I don't care about. I can control alt f1 and silence it, but in
this case, that's an extra step if I assume I'm already focused on the
graphical login soon after.
To shut up speakup, you can press the ctrl key from the tty7 (where you
are by default) without change to another console.
2. After logging in, I hear welcome to Orca. I get no feedback from
anything until I press alt+control+tab, alt f1 to access the menu or
alt f2 to run an application.
The keys I expect to report, such as caps and num lock, don't say
anything. Nor do any of the Orca keys such as insert+space to open the
preferences until I do this.
This is an issue that now is mentioned in another message, you can solve
it by installing gnome-tweak-tool package, then, in the desktop tab of
this application, enabling the file manager in the desktop.
3. After reading a capital letter, eSpeak's pitch doesn't lower.
In the orca's preferences, change the pitch of espeak from 5.0 to 4.0
(or 4.x), and this should be solved. I do not know why, but it is works
fine for me and the pitch is adjusted correctly in capital and
non-capital letters.
4. The orca preferences dialogs are confusing. If I shift+tab to the
tab control, pressing the right arrow to move to the next one puts me
in a random place in the current page's dialog. If I shift+tab past
the tab control, I miss the Help, Apply, Cancel and OK buttons.
This is caused by gnome 3.4, others systems with this version has the
same issue. To change to another tab, you have to find the tab, only
pressing the TAB Key, if you press shift tab, then you press Right or
left key, you going to another place, no the next or back tab. The same
think happens in the gtk+3 apps. In gnome 3.6 it has been fixed.
5. Once I'm logged into gnome, I lose my console speech.
I have no idea for this. I imagine that is because speakup does not use speech dispatcher, but I do not have more info. I have testing and at this moment Orca is broken and I can not test nothing.
Hope this helps.
