Re: [orca-list] unusual behavior with latest master?



GDM is broken in several ways right now.  First off, to get the
environment variable to be recognized by Orca, you will have to modify
the /usr/bin/orca file directly and insert the following line 
    . /etc/profile.d/speechd.sh
at the top of the runorca function.

Now this speechd.sh script merely sets the environment variable on my
system when speech dispatcher is started.  If you start speech
dispatcher by some other method, then you could insert the export
speechd parameter in this spot instead.  The bottom line here is Orca
does not see the environment when started with gem; I don't know why.

The other problem you are having is with the new orca settings,  they
keep getting overwritten even when I create new ones.  This bug has
been noted.

Yes, I think it is, since obviously the configuration shouldn't be read from your
home directory until you log in (at least, not in a multi-user environment,
which Linux inherently provides).

You could try setting your environment variable in /etc/rc.local in case that
helps. there might be a gdm configuration option that you need to preserve
environment variables as well - have a look at the gdm documentation, or wait
for a reply from someone who knows gdm.
