Re: [orca-list] unable to stop speech with Orca 2.22.

Hi Kenny:

This is sometimes an indication that the AT-SPI registry daemon has 
died or that an AT-SPI call that Orca made has hung (*&*&^#*$ CORBA 
doesn't seem to have timeouts for calls).  Are you experiencing this 
solely when running a command from gnome-terminal?
