[orca-list] LXDE with Orca

["Nolan Darilek" <nolan thewordnerd info>]

I know the topic of running LXDE with Orca has surfaced here before. 
Google searches seem to indicate that it is accessible but doesn't offer 
rich enough keyboard navigation.

Last night I was investigating this more closely and am confused. 
Ubuntu's LXDE metapackage installs openbox by default, and a bit of 
digging reveals an openbox config with a number of keyboard shortcuts.

So I set about attempting to get this working, and am wondering if 
whomever dit it can share how they managed? The first stumbling block is 
that my default config uses SD, which is configured to use Pulse, which 
isn't started automatically in the LXDE session. One quick SSH later and 
I had in place a config file that uses ALSA. I then launched SD, then 
Orca and got the "Welcome to Orca." message, but nothing else.

From this I would conclude that accessibility and the necessary GTK 
modules aren't loaded. As the load mechanism was apparently changed late 
in the 2.24/Intrepid cycle, I'm not sure of the...no pun 
intended...canonical way to load GTK modules. Are they being loaded in 
gconf? A quick "grep -ri gail" in ~/.gconf reveals nothing, so I'm 
guessing there's either some system-wide gconf scheme kicking in, or 
that the GTK_MODULES environment variable is still being set somewhere. 
If so, where would one set it such that Ubuntu's session manager load 
mechanism picks it up?
