Having run the mate accessibility enabling command I started startx again and had to run orca when mate came up. I could run orca --replace and mate-terminal and mate-terminal gave me a $ prompt in a console window but outside of the terminal in g.u.i. mode I couldn't run commands that work in mate in archlinux. It's like I would run a command and get no speech back from orca. Probably it's possible to work in console on mate and while I have no problem with that many others who are not original command line interface users are about to experience serious difficulties. > orca --replace did replace the screen reader but insert-space which > normally enters orca preferences did not work either.
I think that all this is due to the a11y parameters not being set in xinitrc.mate nor elsewhere. With most recent orca package they will be set in /etc/profile.d/orca.sh that should be executable (to be available in any graphical environment), and orca started by ~/.config/autostart/startorca.desktop But this is not yet uploaded, my mistake, I will do an upload later today 03 November. Meanwhile, I attach these files to this post, sorry for the inconvenience. Greetings, Didier
