[orca-list] Some orca and gnome questions

[Daniel Dalton <d dalton iinet net au>]

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with orca. I finally got gnome 
working and orca talking.

I just have a few questions:
-When I type startx and gnome opens I get this accessibility dialog come 
up.
It is asking me what to run on start up.
I ticked screenreader and now it keeps coming up.
Orca starts straight away but this dialog is a bit annoying.
How do I stop it from coming up but make sure screenreader will still be 
ticked?

-Where can I obtain the latest firefox?
Do I need to build it from source?
I am on debian lenny.
-Is there anythinhg wrong with building orca from svn?
Will it  talk?
And can I run the executable that make generates before I run make 
install?
So I can make sure orca will work?

-To find out my orca version do I just
do orca --version from a gnome-terminal?

-What language is orca written in?
It seems like a good project and I want to help out.
I am learning to program in c but will be doing c++ python bash and maybe 
a bit of java.

-Is orca not very responsive when saying keys for example if you type
orca
sometimes you can't hear the letters properly.
I will admit I only have 256 mb of ram so if I get more ram should that 
stop happening?
And also gnome crashes on the run app dialog.
Is this again because of a lack of ram?

Thanks for any help,
