Re: Orca Using orca at gdm

["Padraig O'Briain" <Padraig Obriain Sun COM>]

I found timeoutTime in settings.py and when I changed that to 20 then 
orca started speaking to me at login. It seems to take about 17 seconds 
from whenI rpess Ctrl+s to when orcs starts speaking.

That sounds like a very long time.
