Title:
  orca should automatically get started when braille is activated

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting e.g. the 7.10 tribe1 CD, whatever the way braille gets
  activated (boot menu, "brltty=" trick or USB auto-detection), orca
  should automatically get started.  For instance, you can try on a
  box that has a serial port:

  - boot the liveCD
  - press F5 (accessibility)
  - choose Braille Terminal
  - really boot the CD
  When it prompts for the braille device configuration,
  - answer s to the kind of connection (serial)
  - answer 0 to the number of the serial port
  - answer vs to the device type
  - then it starts the gnome desktop

  On the serial port, you'll notice this: >CREEN NOT IN TEXT MODE. That
  means that brltty is correctly started, but that orca wasn't started
  and hence a blind user can't read the gnome desktop.

  Other ways to start braille that should be supported are as follows:

  - plug a USB braille device
  - just let boot the liveCD without typing anything at boot menu
  - udev detects the USB braille device and starts brltty

  - boot the liveCD
  - press F6
  - type brltty=vs,ttyS0
  - really boot the CD
  - brltty automatically gets started
