Re: [orca-list] orca crash on exiting firefox

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Hello,

If you are running Vinux 3.0.x, you can quickly restart orca and speech dispatcher with 'ctrl-shft-o'.  In any event, you should be able to restart orca, like any app, by doing 'alt+f2', then 'orca', and hitting 'enter'.  If speech dispatcher has also crashed, you'd need to restart that, first.  

If you aren't runnin Vinux, You can write a little script that restarts both orca and speech dispatcher, and bind it to a hotkey, using the standard Gnome keyboard preferences
