[ale] Linux for "normal" people?

[Scott Warfield]

Exactly.  I could not find any mechanism which would allow sticky keys to be
applied the login manager.  I am definitely using FC1 on my primary Linux
server... soon to be upgraded to FC3 this weekend once I get someone to
physically help me.  (Now if only Linux came with a robotic arm kinda the
old radio shack toys from years ago...).  I will reevaluate the
accessibility features then.  Let's hope for some improvement.

I am very receptive to any advice to get accessibility features running
smoothly on my Linux server.  The speech recognition would still be an issue
though.  I have grown very fond of Dragon NaturallySpeaking and the ability
to script voice commands.

I expect you'll need to get deeply into kdm configuration to get sticky keys
to work with login manager.  It almost certainly will not work just by
setting sticky keys in Control Center.  Those settings are only for after
you login.

Are you sure that you are using kdm with FC1 Or FC3?  I think it defaults to
gdm.
