Dear Maintainer,
I hace noticed an issue with orca that effects nemo and caja as far as I have tested. when in icon view, orca will not read the file list when you use left and right to navigate. this also effects caja since when you press alt control d orca will not read the desktop or tell you you are on the desktop.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
I pressed alt control d when logging in. orca should say desktop. icon view, instead, orca did not say that so users like myself don't even know they can navigate their files in the first place unless they switch to list view, but you can't have the desktop in list view
