Re: Orca not stopping talking

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Very odd.  I just checked with debugging enabled in Orca and it seems as
though Orca no longer get keyboard events from the AT-SPI once you've
mucked with the NumLock key.  As a result, Orca won't interrupt speech
on a key press since it's not getting any key presses.

I can also verify this with the src/tools/record_keystrokes.py module in
the orca sources, and it looks like NumLock is toxic for me - once I've
enabled it, I'm hosed and need to restart the X server.
