Well now, this yielded some interesting results.  I did as suggested
by adding 'exec gnome-session' to the end of my .xsession file and
when I type 'startx' from the console, I do hear the startup sounds
for gnome.  Rich sound if I may say so.  But alas Orca still doesn't
work after that.  I get no effect upon pressing alt-f2 and typing
'orca'  My other message I sent to the list already may shed more info
on that part of things.

As for the gdm login, I had to hit enter after the user name; I would
have thought the same as you said where press tab to password field
but even sighted help confirmed my findings.  After hitting enter
after the user, I then could enter a password and then I got the
audible confirmation that I prerecorded that login was successful.
Other system resources concluded the same - that I was logged in
successfuly.

But in both cases, Orca is dropping the ball or maybe I should say
that at-spi is dropping the ball some how.
