Orca on XFCE 4.10

Hi,

Is Orca working with XFCE 4.10?

I've installed 4.10 and Orca but it only seems to work on Orca's own dialog and nothing else.

Do you have it set to start at login (Settings>Session and Startup)?

Hi,

It starts when I log in but again I get no speech for any application I launch except for Orca's own dialog and I have also ticked the Enabled Assistive Technologies. Under Ubuntu this was all I had to do but its not working in Xubuntu 12.04 running XFCE 4.10

Maybe Xfce's support for it is broken but see if event/user feedback sounds are enabled too in Settings>Appearance.

Hi,

I'm sure the event/user feedback sounds in Settings>Appearance have nothing to do with Orca. Orca's own dialogs work without any issues. But I switched it on just in case   It still did not work.

I saw that in the xfce 4.10 roadmap orca integration was being worked on but I cannot find anything that categorically states that Orca works with xfcce 4.10.

I am beginning to think it has been put on hold. I've had a look at what I can see of the 4.12 roadmap and that does not even mention Orca...
