Re: [orca-list] orca and lxde

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I have to say that I can't give you a certain answer here as I only use 
gnome, but here are some things I have found by looking around.

It seems like the start up stuff for LXDE happens in the file 
/etc/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and also in that /etc/lxsession/LXDE 
directory there is some other files. Also I think LXDE has config files 
in /etc/lxde. I found a message on a debian mailing list from you about 
this, probably one of the places I would suggest asking. Another place 
might be to look at the LXDE homepage http://lxde.sf.net, I think there 
is a forum there. Also looking on www.knoppix.net there seems to be a 
knoppix forum, I was unable to find anything on the knoppix-adriane CD 
indicating what they start, may be its part of that menu system in the 
text console before you start an X session which does the stuff for 
setting environment variables, etc.
