Re: [orca-list] speaking words shortly or broken

I can only really attend to one issue you mention, you say that orca 
hangs around the restart orca question. I think this might be an 
existing bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614917. Does this 
seem to be the problem?

Following what I have said there, the work around for answering in the 
way which causes it, is to wait (after answering yes to start orca on 
log in) until orca says "welcome to orca" then alt+tab once to get back 
to the initial setup questions and answer the restart question.

I would appreciate it if someone who knows how gnome prefers to do 
things were to look at that bug and suggest which direction to head with 
it (should orca try and work round it by setting gconf keys in another 
order or should orca's start up stuff be altered so that they don't 
start on the key being set).
