Actually we are trying to pass  the information to orca via setting
accessible description on Board Drawing Area. But at present orca is
not announcing the change in accessible-description on currently
focused widget. This patch will make orca announce
accessible-description when focused widgets description gets changed.

Yes we made lot of change after the last post. If you want to try the
new way first of all compile the xboard using following command then
apply the orca patch to default/scripts.py

sudo apt-get install fairymax texinfo libgtk-3-dev build-essential
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/xboard.git
git checkout gtk3
autoreconf --install
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Download the patch from previous mail and apply it using following command.

patch /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/scripts/default.py <
~/Download/announce_description_change.patch
