[orca-list] Chromim Startup--was Re: Antergos the next Arch alternative which works

[David Hunt <dahunt posteo de>]

                                Hi,

In my antergos setup, I followed the steps below, and find that
chromium will not start with speech when executed from the overview,
but will have  chromevox sound effects.  If , instead, I launch
chromium from the 'run' dialogue or terminal, passing 

--enable-speech-dispatcher

Chromium talks.  I've double-checked the contents of 

~/.local/share/applications/chromium.desktop 

It looks correct.


Thanks,


Dave  H.
