Hi, I'm using fluxbox as a wm, it does about exactly what I want, but it basically isn't accessible itself. What I man is this I haven't gotten fluxbox's menus etc to read, but I can open apps like firefox and successfully use them which is all I really want from my window manager.

Hello, I tried to set up fluxbox with orca. I wrote in ~/.xsession: === exec /usr/lib/at-spi/at-spi-registryd & exec startfluxbox ===
ok, I don't have a .xsession, but I do have in ~/.fluxbox/startup the following part relavent to accessibility. export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge export SPEECHD_ADDRESS="inet_socket:localhost:6560" /usr/lib/at-spi/at-spi-registryd & you may not need the speechd line depending on your configuration.
Then I log in using xdm and then start orca from the fluxbox menu, using orca -n. I'm doing this without sighted assistance. Orca does say "Welcome to orca", and then falls silent, I guess because he can't find at-spi-registryd. But pgrep does find it: === % pgrep at-spi 18448 ===
what happens if you then open firefox for example?
I thought it could be not working because fluxbox maybe isn't using the GTK-Library (I don't know), but Orca doesn't work in the xterm either.
well, xterm definitely doesn't use libatk-bride, and won't be accessible with orca, although from time to time I run yasr in a xterm. As far as I can tell fluxbox doesn't use gtk, but its very keyboard friendly so you can switch between apps and do what you want to do.
What am I doing wrong?
I'd try using an app like firefox that is accessible. Trev
