There is a patch to add a11y support to the xubuntu edgy liveCD but
which did not make it for the release candidate. I hope it can make the
release though, it is very non-intrusive.
The sticky/mouse keys and onboard work well in Xfce but orca's magnifier
and speech synthesis is not as supported as by gnome applications.
Which a11y features do you need?
