Re: [orca-list] GDM3 login and shortcut keys existence

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

First, please let me  ask an almost unrelated question. Squeeze is quiteold now.. If I'm not mistaken it is 
based on the 
2.6.32 kernel. Have yo added repositories or otherwise installed newer versions of packages than standard 
squeeze fare? 
I'm assuming you are using gnome as your desktop, but this would be gnome2.x I reckon. This would also mean 
you are forced 
to use rather old Orca releases, i.e. 3.1.9or perhaps 3.2xdesktop. 
Back to your question now: You should be able to remove gdm and then use startx as you wish. This is nice  if 
you do a lot 
on the commandline as you can work there with out the overhead of your graphical session running, and for 
that matter you 
can be booted and logged-in faster although differences while certainly not trivial would likely be between 
pretty fast 
and really fast on most systems. You just need to make sure the gnome-session line is uncommented in your 
~/.xinitrc file. 
If you are running something other than gnome as your desktop adjust and uncomment or add the needed line. 
I think most desktop managers' log-in screens are not going to talk, so you should stick with what you have 
or remove it 
as mentioned and use startx.
