Howdy,

> So fenrir works with e.g mate?
No it doesnt. Sorry for the misunderstanding. It uses the X11  detection to ignore  screens running X (to not 
conflict with orca).
I m currently  working on an backend that makes Fenrir  work with terminal emulators like mate-terminal, 
gnome-terminal  or xterm.
I try to release more often to bring that stuff more fast to the user (maybe all 3 Month).

Cheers Chrys
