Accessibility on the diffrent desktop enoviremtns



Hi,

I've been installing most desktop enovirements in Debian 12.6 today, not at the same time, but a clean install on each.

I did only scratch the top, so what i had focus on was:

Login screen, if i had to enter username and password or not. On GNOME and KDE i did not need to enter the username, but i did need to enter it on XFCE, CINNAMON, MATE, LXDE, LXTQ. And this is not much related to accessibility, but just a nice feature or not.

But what i did encounter is the both KDE and LXQT login screen Orca was not able to read the login window - first when i got by the login screen, Orca did speech.

Main menu (F1 + alt) or just (super key) where i did meet many diffrent difficulties in most: GNOME, CINNAMON, LXQT - In some it was the whole menu, others it could be a search box etc. - But i also wonder why not all just use the super key to launch the main menu?

Speech in terminal, i did also test if Orca worked in the terminal, and encounted that it did not work in XFCE, KDE and LXQT

Then i did try the system monitor and experienced difficulties or not working in all desktop enovirements.

And the last thing i did test was the key combination of CTRL + ALT + DEL, to see if the shutdown window would appear, and experienced it not to work in Cinnamon, LXDE and in LXQT it did open the audio settings i belive - and also, in one, i belive was LXDE i did not have the option to shutdown or reboot the computer, but just to swtich user or log out.

I wish, and hope that there are Debian developers that would look into these issues, so we can make Debian more accessible, i really enjoy the Debian distro for all the current accessibility functionalities :-D

Best kinds regards
Kenneth
