Accessible login prompt and i3 wm

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello, Didier here.

I just checked on Slint, installing i3 for the first time

It can be started with startx (in Slint, I just selected it
typing session-chooser) and yes orca works with i3 as long
as the apps you use are accessible. This is of course
the case for Firefox.

Only caveat: in Slint I had to type orca& from a terminal
to get it started. I didn't investigate why (yet) as I am
busy doing other things.

Which distribution are you using?
