Hi, one minor thing: make sure the variable is all upper case, otherwise it 
will not work.

In general, in a KDE session you would have to start Orca explicitly, it won't 
run automatically I think.
Also note that KDE accessibility is still lacking currently, I expect Plasma 
Next, the next big iteration of the desktop to be much better in that regard.

I would recommend as a first step to test KDE applications in a session where 
you have working accessibility.
