Re: [orca-list] instructions for getting orca to work with xfce

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Hi,

If I were to put xfce into an Ubuntu installation, would I still have to 
have the accessibility switch toggled on without accessibility?  I'd 
make sure to put the export line into ~/.profile before restarting. 
Will xfce become a choice on the login dialogue?
