almost got gdm and mate working on archlinux

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Last time I tried to get GDM to pass audio access on to Orca, I discovered I
needed to restart speech-dispatcher to get it to work.

Also, you should check the uid/gid for both GDM and the desktop
speech-dispatcher process. When I was last trying to get this working, I
discovered a discrepency there as well.
