I made your suggested change to the user-settings.py file, and the reset
strings are no longer sent to my DECTalk Express when I start Orca
Properties. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem that
originated this thread. If I start emacspeak and then try to switch to
another application with Orca running, everything freezes.  I either
have to kill emacspeak, Orca, or restart the X server to get things
running again.

I'll put this question out on the emacspeak list and see if anyone has
found a workaround.

Thanks,
