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

Hi,
Not the originator of this, but if your refering to the orca issue in
gnome 2.30 where a second instance of orca is started after
preferences are configured, the solution of alt tabbing in arch which
worked fine, did not work in ubuntu 10.04 desktop. I had to hard
reboot the box to get the settings to apply.
Dave.
