Re: [orca-list] should orca set up atk gconf?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello John,
As far as I understand it, orca sets all gconf keys needed to run orca 
once you have logged in to gnome (this includes the one to start 
at-spi). The only keys you need to set manually are those for accessible 
log in. I don't think orca could set these keys for accessible log in as 
it requires setting them for another user (using sudo, su, etc) and so 
you can't guarantee whether the user running orca will have the correct 
permissions.

Is the current situation fine, I think possibly as its something a user 
may never do (as its something which only those granted extra 
permissions can do) or if they do need to do it then it only needs doing 
once per linux installation. Could it be made easier, yes a GUI tool 
could be created and put in administrative applications (I feel the best 
place for it, this is where gdmsetup was to be found but that's 
deprecated now).
