Re: Orca Using orca at gdm

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Padraig:

I did some work with Brian prior to the Orca v2.17.4 release to get Orca
and gdm working well together.  At the time (around 08-Dec and on an
early 50's release of Nevada x86), it worked very well.

The _exit(50) you're seeing is coming from gnomespeechfactory.py, and it
is happening due to what looks like some repeated resets of speech.
These will occur if the synthesis driver is dying (or maybe it just
never activated correctly).  It may be that the activation of the
synthesis driver is just plain failing.
