kde install accessibility experience

Show all headers | View raw

Earlier I wrote the kde-accessibility list and asked how to get kde 
accessibility working with kde installed on a system specifically screen 
reading accessibility.  I was advised I would need to install the whole 
orca dependency stack and get orca up and running and from orca then get 
kdespeech started.  I was also told kdespeech would read qt stuff orca 
cannot read but wouldn't do much more beyond that.
I tried it and had an interesting install failure experience.
First going into console and installing orca dependency stack on the kde 
installation that had already got done was no problem.
The problem started on rebootand I got the graphical environment running 
and I know that because espeakup stopped working like it does in the 
console.  So next I start orca up and that worked too and I was thinking 
I'm just about home free here.  Wrong!  What came up talking on the screen 
was I suppose you could call it a dialog to set the system date.  I tried 
several times to set the system date in that calendar dialog and though I 
was able to set the date, I found no control or way to close the calendar 
dialog and go beyond the calendar dialog to get any of kde's accessibility 
up and working.  Since then I have read about some variables that may be 
helpful exporting before I start up the graphical environment on next 
installation try.
Understand, I do my own stuff with computers and do not have sighted 
assistance to help out when I do it let alone someone experienced with kde 
who can see so that's the explanation for this failed kde accessibility 
install experience.
