Re: [orca-list] Orca starts but exits without doing anything in one account

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I don't think there is anything else running (I certainly did not add
anything myself to start up last time I had orca running) and just in
case there are applications running I pressed alt+tab and alt+f4 a few
times (even an alt+f6 in case there was one of those hard to get to
dialogs) but even after that orca did not respond. Also it seems like if
I can get to the log out screen and log out before orca gives up it will
say good bye as it exits.

I have not tried the xlsclients command to find out if there is other
applications running as I only have access to a text console and I am
not quite sure how to tell xlsclients the display to use (I just don't
know how to specify the X display to applications). If I can check it
from a text console could you give me an example of the command?
