Re: [orca-list] ssh (x11)

OK, I didn't know about the -R option for port forwarding, its a big 
improvement over what I originally thought. Your question about running 
all the gnome accessibility in ssh, I couldn't comment for cases where 
you have no prior ability to configure the server as whenever I have 
done experiments in this I have normally been using a machine which 
already has gnome configured for accessibility support.

As I said the command line is how I would like things to be as nothing 
special is needed at the server end and ssh needs no special options, 
but I can't ever imagine X over ssh being that easy.
