Re: [orca-list] arch linux, gnome, and orca

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

If you want orca to start in GDM then you must set the gconf keys as 
described in the orca wiki 
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/AccessibleLogin#Arch_Linux_Accessible_Login_Instructions 
(remember that page was written for gnome 2.28 so it says the wrong 
place for the link although it sounds like you've dealt with that).

As for the slow responsiveness, I tend to use gnome-speech, so don't 
know the exact issue. One thing which comes to mind but I doubt it is 
this, have you set the /etc/hosts file correctly to list your hostname? 
The arch wiki installation docs do warn about apps responding slowly if 
you don't set this properly.
