[orca-list] Loss of Speech After Idle

["Bob Tinney" <tinneyb charter net>]

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with ESpeak and the screen saver doesn't lose speech, 
but I do have another question.  Using the gnome interface and the computer 
icon, I can access all of my drives and directories, but when I go into a 
Gnome-terminal, I can't get to those same ddirectories.  Executing the sudo 
su command which requires me to enter my password, doesn't open access to 
these directories either.

Hi Steve:

Under the "Preferences" menu (usually available via the "System" menu on
the gnome-panel, which you can get to via Alt+F1 and a couple right
arrows on many distributions), there's a "Screensaver" menu item.  When
you choose this, the screen saver preferences dialog should appear.  In
that dialog, there should be a "Lock screen when screensaver is active"
checkbox.  If all works well, unchecking that checkbox and closing the
dialog should disable the lock option.  I hope.  :-)

I'm not sure about the lock option available from the logout dialog, but
I suspect it would probably override any setting you made in the
screensaver preferences dialog.  That is, I'd guess it would lock the
screen no matter what.

Hope this helps,

Will
