I was very surprised how well Orca works with virtualbox, not for 100% but 
enough to find my way.
After starting virtualbox I pressed Control_N for to start similar clicking 
on the button NEW, which is not accessible for Orca. The Tab key navigates 
through the items. After finishing the settings of a Guest it will show in 
the List. Rightclicking on the Guest opens a submenu accessible with the 
arrow keys. Also the flat review keys read some of the screen.
A very important thing is to add a cd / dvd player for to install from a cd 
or dvd. This was done by first open the Setting menu and tab once from the 
Save Option. Orca says Tree and I did a right click to open the dropdown 
menu. With the arrow down key I then do the rest.

How well does virtualbox work on ubuntu?  I have been trying to use it under 
windows and the interface is almost totally inaccessible.

My machine is 32bit but I did:
sudo apt-get install qt-at-spi:i386
and the terminal says that at-spi is already the latest version. Anyway I 
was now able to install a guest. Many thanks!
