Synaptic uses gtk2 and is accessible. The problem is probably that for
installing packages, one must become root at some point and then, orca
will no longer be able to communicate with the program. A fix for
Feisty has been posted some time ago. It involved adding some lines to
root's .orbitrc file. I have not tried this myself and do not know if
this is still the recommended solution. In this particular case, using
apt-get on the console is probably easier indeed.
