You might want to consider gnopernicus and orca are rather fussy and 
tempermental if they are not started correctly. For example, for 
whatever reason if you run orca or gnopernicus from the run dialog they 
will completely crash gnome-panel and then the desktop.
The safest way to start gnopernicus or orca is by opening gnome-terminal 
and from in gnome terminal attempt to launch the screen reader you want.
Also it has been my experience if gnome's system sounds are on it will 
cause problems with orca and gnopernicus, and they will remain silent 
while sounds are playing.
A case in point where this will crash the screen reader is gaim when 
send or recieve notifications sound orca will suddenly die, and has to 
be restarted. To avoid it I just turn those sounds off.

I need some clarification on what you mean disable it. How are you 
starting gnopernicus? Do you have the screen reader option checked in 
the gnome accessibility settings? If so you will need some sighted 
assistance getting that check box unchecked if you want gnopernicus not 
to load automatically. If you are using a session then you will need to 
delete gnopernicus from your list of sessions that come up on login.

Well, there isn't really any easy way of doing this without 
speech.Especially, just by keyboard alone. To quit gnopernicus ifyou are 
in the window I believe the command is alt+q.
To logout properly you need to use your screen reader to get to the 
proper menu and do it that way. If you are in a rush and need to logout 
without speech alt+control+backspace will crash you out of gnome and 
back to your gdm login screen.
