Re: [orca-list] Accessible Login on Arch Linux plus Gnome 2.30

[Cleverson Casarin Uliana <clever92000 yahoo com br>]

OK, I got Orca to read a little more info at the gdm login window by 
following Steve's tip below and making a symbolic link to /usr/lib/gdm.

When Orca starts, it reads the title of the logon window. If I type my 
username and password without pressing any other key, Orca goes spelling 
it as it should be. But whenever I tab or try using the review keys to 
explore the window, Orca appears to try to speak something, then it 
stops speaking, gets silent, and I cannot login anymore.

I'd apreciate any solution for it, but now I can at least have speech 
while logging as long as I type the username and password straightforwardly.

Thanks,
Cleverson
