[orca-list] inaccessible popups as LibreOffice is starting without a desktop

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

A little background: I'm working toward getting a mostly text mode 
installation of a modified ArchLinuxARM on a Raspberry Pi 3. Instead of 
a command prompt, the user will see a simplified text-based menu that 
will launch many installed applications, but will also have a shell 
option. There are however some applications that will require X with a 
basic window management system for use with Orca. Some of these 
applications include Firefox and LibreOffice. I have wrappers already 
set up to launch LibreOffice Writer and Calc via startx along with a 
very tiny window manager I found called lwm, which serves to help popup 
windows get their proper focus, especially in Firefoxx, but also any 
other application that is needed that relies on a window manager to 
properly focus a window that is supposed to pop up.

So my problem is specifically with LibreOffice Calc. First of all, both 
Writer and Calc open an inaccessible window, or at least a window that 
is inaccessible when using only startx and lwm with Orca, any time it is 
opened with a file that doesn't exist. In my wrappers, I worked around 
this problem by touching the file if it didn't already exist and then 
deleting the file once LibreOffice is closed if it is still empty. 
However, Calc displays another inaccessible popup window as it is 
launched, even if the file to be opened does exist. This is a fairly 
large window in the upper left corner of the screen. My phone is 
identifying some text regarding language and numbering, but I can't set 
anything in that window, as Orca can't see the window. Once the main 
window opens, Orca has no further trouble, but these windows pop up in 
between the time the splash screen closes and the time the main window 
would open, so for some reason, Orca isn't seeing it. I know my 
circumstance is a bit unusual, but has anyone by chance found a way to 
work around this, or better, a way to make Orca see the window? Thanks 
for any help.
