Re: [orca-list] best desktop environment for orca?

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Chris, Gnome 3.28 has a major memory leak though. I tried it on my high 
spec laptop and after about 6 hours of use it was using 5-6GB of RAM 
here on a default insttall.  Bear in mind that was durng the beta2 phase 
however.

To the people who mentioned XFCE, what's the simplest way of getting 
Orca to work with it, just export the variables into my .xinitrc file or 
did that change over the years? I'll admit, never tried XFCE but now I 
want to in order to see what all the fuss is about.
