Some questions about Arch Linux

Hello everyone,


Since we're kind of in the subject anyways, let me ask another question, 
totally unrelated, but still about Arch:

I've installed the system, and everything works fine, but not 
accessibility, not as it worked in Ubuntu and Fedora at least.

When I typed in the terminal

export ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1

all in caps eccept export, and I tried to start google-chrome, nothing 
talked.

One other app that didn't talk, was Signal desktop, which I managed to 
use wonderfully on both Ubuntu and Fedora, so basically, accessibility 
isn't working as it should be I am guessing.

I also modified the .xinitrc file at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, since 
that's the only one which is available, and I inserted the following 
lines at the end of the file, after installing the system:


export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge
export GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=1
export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
export QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1
export ACCESSIBILITY ENABLED=1

Nothing still.

Any help would be apriciated.

Best regards.

Francisco.
