kde and speech

[Jude DaShiell]

I'm figuring road map to a plasma system with orca running on it until 
kde gets its own accessibility iso released would be something like 
this:
1) install a linux graphical user interface accessibility iso vinux 
sonar slint would be three possibilities.
2) get orca running and install kde on the system with package manager.
3) run xwmconfig in orca and choose kde.
4) reboot the system.
5) start orca.

I don't know if step 5 will have to be repeated after each reboot or 
system start in the future yet.
