Re: [orca-list] text console use

Howdy,

> Just curious with projects like Fenrir.
fenrir is able to run in 2 different modes.
1. as background daemon to give you access to CTRL + ALT + F1-7
2. as terminal emulation process. this makes it able to run in on every 
terminal (also on desktop)
some of fenrirs users also using it for normal desktop usage since it 
handles some stuff better (like ncurses programms). i suggest my users 
here to use xterm (or another terminal emulator what is not accessible 
to orca, this avoids double speak and orca does not react to shortcuts 
then on that window)

cheers chrys
