Believe me, I would if I could. However, unless I'm missing something, this isn't as simple as you suggest: 1. As far as I know, gnome and xfce are the only two GUI environments which have a screen reader, orca. 2. I heard a few years back that KDE were developing their own AT-SPI and screen reader. I tried KDE on jessie in a virtual machine when I was playing with jessie/systemd, but got no speech. So, I assume that KDE hasn't gotten their act together yet as far as accessibility; at least not in the version included with jessie. 3. As far as I know, all the other window managers mentioned here are based on x, and xorg doesn't currently provide a screen reader of its own, neither do the mentioned managers. I'd love to do everything in the text console, but some things are lacking there, such as a useable modern web browser for example. I went over to the GUI on GNU/linux a number of years ago in the hopes of being to dump M$ windows, but that's not possible yet, even though enormous progress has been made with orca during that time. It isn't my intent to complain here. I just want to explain why going with a lighter desktop isn't an option for me at the moment as far as I know.
