Re: [orca-list] orca and ubuntu 12.10

Yep, sounds like the problem I was having with KDE actually.  It opened
everything that was gtk based but didn't read any of it.  I'll see if I can
scare up the e-mail that had the gail atk command in it.  It's in the may
messages of the Orca-list archive, I think in live.gnome.org in case
something comes up for me and I don't get around to posting it again.

Well don't get to excited yet. Orca does work and I can go through the Orca
menu and set Orca up how I want it. But that is all I can do right now. That
is why I'm looking for the  export command because I think it will fix my
problems. i'm not sure but I want to try it first before I look for another
solution to fix this problem. I installed gnome-terminal and that works. But
I can't get pidgin to be read by Orca. So here is the problem I can open
programs like pidgin and firefox libreoffice and thunderbird. But Orca can't
read any of them. So if anyone has an idea please let me know so I can move
forward with this project. Thanks for your time and help.
