Re: [orca-list] Gdm 2.32 not that accessible

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Sorry for replying to my own message but can anyone tell me how or by
what path at-spi-registryd is found? When I do 'startx' from a normal
user account, X starts and 99% of the time, Orca registers
at-spi-registryd with no problems  Yet when I try and do this with
gdm, I always get now, what I showed in my last message and below here
in this one.

I mickey moused around in the past and even had to move the sym link
once but now I can't guess where to put it.  Why can't gdm use the
same method a normal user does in locating at-spi-registryd?

If it is in gconf variables, could someone remind me how to best query
those hidden variables?
