tty7 is not hardcoded in brltty indeed.  Orca hardcodes it, but only
if autoconfiguration fails.

It happens that gdm3 seems to have completely dropped the support for
the WINDOWPATH variable, how nice...  I'll discuss with Gnome people.

One thing you can do to circumvent the issue is changing the default
inside orca, in orca/braille.py, change tty=7 to tty=12.
