[orca-list] Orca and at-spi2 again

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I decided to look at this again now archlinux has some of the at-spi2 
stuff (I never really got very far with it on fedora). I am certainly in 
a better position with archlinux and atspi2, partly as I have orca 
launching and reading terminal windows but also because I have speakup 
as well should things really go wrong.

NOTE TO OTHER ARCHLINUX USERS: You will need pyatspi for atspi2 which is 
not in the repositories, so this would require compiling from source. 
The existing corba stuff works fine in archlinux and I am only doing 
this to try and get an idea of what may need to be done before the 
change is forced upon me.

OK, so I said orca can read gnome-terminal, but this is about it. 
Nothing else seems to be accessible wen using atspi2. I have set the 
gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-dbus to true and I can confirm 
the at-spi2-registryd is started as I find a process for it when using 
ps. Also when I run orca from a terminal window I don't find any 
worrying messages come up (in fedora I did have a concerning one about 
orca not finding the accessibility bus but that doesn't appear on 
archlinux).

Any ideas on what else I need to do?
