4 - When the blindness accessibility profile is chosen, create the .orca
5 directory in the live user's home directory. This seems to allow orca
6 to properly reload and use settings in the live session without needing
7 to be restarted. This is only needed for the blindness profile, due to
8 the other profiles that use orca already creating the .orca directory.
