Re: Orca not stopping talking

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Well...to add more to this...restarting the X Server and even rebooting
didn't solve the problem.  I needed to go into the Keyboard Preferences
dialog and muck around with AccessX settings - I enabled StickyKeys and
then disabled it and things seemed to come back to life.  Very very odd.

We're looking at this on Solaris to see if the problem exists there,
too.  If it doesn't, I think this might be a Ubuntu problem, but I have
no idea how or what is making this happen.
