Try copying the orca.desktop file into ~/.config/autostart (creating that directory if needed). This works for me, but I'm starting an X session with startx from the console rather than running gdm. > > 2. occasionally speech-dispatcher will crash.

It must be a bug. You need to set ulimit -c unlimited in a shell, then start X and Orca, then get the core file that is then created by the crash, make sure you install debug symbols, load the core file into gdb and get a backtrace. If you think the bug might have been fixed, you can always try Speech-Dispatcher from its Git repository. Another option would be to take up the issue on the speech-dispatcher list. I don't know what's causing it, but it hasn't been widely reported on the Orca list so I assume that other people aren't experiencing it. I'm not, but then I don't use Orca heavily anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
