I don't know whether this is an issue with BRLTTY or with my ineptitude 
as the user.

Currently, BRLTTY is configured to access graphical terminals directly 
via AT_SPI, and the Linux console as well. Outside console/terminal 
environments, it's using Orca. However, if I remember correctly, the 
issue occurred even before I started using BRLTTY to manage X11-based 
terminals.

Also, I'm installing BRLTTY from the Arch Linux package that tracks the 
Git repository.

If I access the BRLTTY Preferences menu and change settings (e.g., to 
skip all blank windows), the settings are saved in 
/var/lib/brltty/.config/brltty/brltty.prefs. (Doing the same in the 
BRLTTY instance run under GNOME or MATE terminals saves the preferences 
in ~/.config/brltty/brltty.prefs). However, when I next reboot the 
system (obviously, restarting BRLTTY) the saved preference changes don't 
take effect at all.

The only potentially relevant warnings that I noticed in the logs are 
messages about capabilities not being granted. However, none of those 
messages reveals an obvious cause of the above-described issue.

Has anyone else on the list encountered this problem?
