I don't have f14 installed right now because I need something up and
running that I can use. But I know there is always a .orca folder in
the home folder. So I can't check to see if there is a orca folder in
the .config folder. As far as what you see when you type in orca you
should see that eventually but not right away. When you first type in
orca to start it it should ask you first to choose your language and
then what keyboard set up you want like desktop or notebook along with
some other choices. But it skips all of this and goes straight to the
orca preferences which is what you see. Even though it skips this set
up process you could still set up orca through the preferences but if
you notice like I said even though orca comes up and is talking you
can't get orca to even read the preferences box or get orca to open
it. It seems that that orca doesn't have focus on the desktop and you
can't get it to move around the menus or panel or like I said even get
orca to open the preferences. If you have f13 around somewhere you
will see how orca is supposed to run. Thanks for your help and time.
