One thing I have discovered, and can reproduce 100% of the time, is a race condition, if it can be called that, for gdm with accessible login enabled. Gnome-orca loads and speaks, however I do not get any accessibility feedback from the gdm greeter, or the bottom panel with the various options present there. I say this probably can't be called a race because this occurs 100% of the time for me.

My machine is not letting me reproduce the race any more at the desktop, even when I added the suggested XSync function call to the at-spi code. I have uploaded this modified package to http://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive for others to test. The modified package adds teh XSync call that Martin suggested.

Please test and report back.

I have also attached a boot chart for at-spi/orca in gdm with accessible login enabled.
