[orca-list] lightdm-greeter-accessibility

[Austin Seraphin <austin austinseraphin com>]

Hey everyone. I recently got a new Linux laptop from ZAReason. I decided 
to put TalkingArch on it, and build the system up from there, installing 
Mate and Orca. After a lot of work I decided that I would have an easier 
time getting X working by using a display manager. Startx gave me some 
strange problems which I would not mind documenting if anyone would 
care. However, the display manager seemed like the way to go. I followed 
the instructions to get LightDM working with Orca, and got it saying 
Screen reader enabled, but then when it wouldn't talk, I could log in by 
dumbly typing in my user name nad password, and it would even start 
Mate, I would verify this in another console, but starting orca gave 
more strange dbus errors. Finally I found this thread, and the updated 
patch.

Thanks Peter Vágner! The patch worked perfectly here as well. Now as far 
as I can tell I have a fully accessible Linux laptop running LightDM, 
Mate, and Orca on Arch Linux.
