Re: [orca-list] Fluxbox with Orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I can't remember what  I used before to show all the gtk modules that were loaded and other stuff that's not 
showing up 
with the simple env command.
I do show that qt accessibility is set to one, but no mention of gtk at all. This is not just with fluxbox, 
but same 
results with mate where twice as many aps are accessible compared with fluxbox here.
I even tried adding the GTK line to my .fluxbox/init file but all stays the same, but I have not reason to 
think that the 
atk bridge is not available for the moment anyway. Do all gtk programs use this module to make them 
accessible?
