Of course, Bill request is done now (copy .orca folder in /var/lib/gdm folder and /etc/skel folder in target system, but I do more bigger step. Single .orca folder copy in the /etc/skel folder is not enough, because this step is not result basic accessibility support with new created user with single system, now, this is done.

I tested this situation with custom /etc/skel folder and original installation method, this feature working right both two situation.
