Re: [orca-list] orca not speaking after screen is locked

Hi John:

xterm doesn't participate in the AT-SPI infrastructure, and emacs really 
doesn't, either.  So, you're not going to get good accessibility with 
them.

gnome-terminal, however, provides a decent terminal that is accessible. 
  Depending upon your needs, you might also try gedit for text editing. 
 If you're an emacs power-user, though, gedit probably won't cut it.
