Re: [orca-list] Orca bug when answering initial setup questions

[michael weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

it deffinately is the same problem in ubuntu lucid because even 
when you try and time the f5 and 3 to enable speech, you still 
have to run orca manually using alt f2 and you are asked the same 
questions about chosing speech synthesiser, the synthesiser 
voice, keyboard layout etc the same questions you might get in 
whatever distro you are using, ubuntu lucid then asks you to 
logout if you want changes to take effect and before you answer 
"yes" or "no" you hear the message "welcome to orca."
you maybe get the message loading orca preferences when you hit 
enter then you lose speech and not even bringing up a text 
console such as control alt f2 and trying to do a hard reset with 
control alt delete won't even take you to the login screen, login 
and allow you to access the desktop.
