Bug Description
When booting e.g. the 7.10 tribe1 CD, whatever the way braille gets
activated (boot menu, "brltty=" trick or USB auto-detection), orca
should automatically get started. For instance, you can try on a
box that has a serial port:
- boot the liveCD
- press F5 (accessibility)
- choose Braille Terminal
- really boot the CD
When it prompts for the braille device configuration,
- answer s to the kind of connection (serial)
- answer 0 to the number of the serial port
- answer vs to the device type
- then it starts the gnome desktop
On the serial port, you'll notice this: >CREEN NOT IN TEXT MODE. That
means that brltty is correctly started, but that orca wasn't started
and hence a blind user can't read the gnome desktop.
Other ways to start braille that should be supported are as follows:
- plug a USB braille device
- just let boot the liveCD without typing anything at boot menu
- udev detects the USB braille device and starts brltty
- boot the liveCD
- press F6
- type brltty=vs,ttyS0
- really boot the CD
- brltty automatically gets started

This is partially fixed in my casper accessibility tree. When selecting braile from the boot menu, and choosing configuration options, Orca should now start when the GNOME desktop loads.
Loading orca when a USB device is somewhat less trivial, and I will need to talk to some core devs about this, which will have to wait till after tribe 2 is released.
