Re: [orca-list] orca settings

hi
This will indeed work, i've just done it. Having said all that, this
really should have a graphical interface to do this, that's login
manager agnostic. I can already hear kyle yelling at me, so I'll add
that this probably won't happen until both orca and speech-dispatcher
use gsettings for their storage, instead of config files. There will
also need to be a standard way to implement accessibility among login
managers. Right now, the place where settings are kept is login manager
specific. /var/lib/gdm is gdm's place, whereas /var/lib/lightdm is
lightdm, the other accessibile login manager's place. Other login
managers use different spots, so we couldn't just implement a regular
expression to find the place. I visualize something like gsettings set
org.freedesktop.apps.loginManager accessibility-enaibled=true. If this
key is set, orca will start up at login.
None of this works right now, I'm just saying what I'd like to see.
Thanks
