Once posted, Orca reads the contents of the menu just fine, and keynav within the menu works as expected. Since the window menu does everything that the window buttons do and more, and all the window buttons have keyboard shortcuts too, the buttons themselves probably don't really need to be individually accessible. (At least, nobody has ever complained that they need to be, AFAIK.)

No problem using it in Xvfb as well. There is X11::GUITest perl module at CPAN which works great for clicking buttons.
