Hello,Right now I am using gnome 3.10 along with production builds of at-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk. I have just built orca from master. However I haven't really explored whether upgrade of these a11y related dependencies will be usefull so the only leson you may take from my scenario is that it's unlikelly you will mess your system by upgrading orca from master.
If you don't mind I am attaching my PKGBUILD script to this message. You might like to review and install it and if you like it then you might also consider putting it into the AUR since you are orca-git maintainer there.

Hey Peter, I want to thank you for that excellent write-up concerning Orca, Arch and xfce. I've been generally curious about using xfce instead of gnome but I now have full gnome installed because I want to use the nautilus dropbox plug-in and stuff so am probably stuck with gnome right now but sill, I'm glad xfce is a workable alternative and I may look into it in the near future. As a further question here, to test latest master, do we have to install git builds of other a11y stack or can we generally stick with prod builds of other components? Last time I messed with all the under pinnings of Orca I ended up having to do a complete re-install of my system and I really don't wanna go there again.

For example treeviews are not anounced while using VLC. It's not critical, content is there but the fact treeview is in focus is no longer announced. I haven't yet tested other more complicated QT vidgets such as comboboxes, tab controls etc which I remember have accessibility issues no mather which platform they are running on.

Thanks for the testing and feedback!Firefox is still kind of slow, but I think the only fix for that, in my case, may be a new computer.Maybe; maybe not. The Gecko script is still filled with sad, non-performant hacks and looking into those is next on my to-do list. In other words, yes, we are far from done with this early-in-the-cycle upheaval and possibility of regressions. But there's still hope, even for the Firefox support. After I go through all those Gecko hacks, I plan to make the utility and generator methods more efficient across the board. That should further speed Orca up in general and hopefully with Firefox as well.I'm not sure someone using a newer/faster computer will notice this much of an improvement, but in my case, I would say your recent work is nothing short of miraculous.I wouldn't go that far, but your comment made my day. So...
