Re: [orca-list] Odd behavior with restarting Orca

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Replying to the list.

I never had problems quite that bad.  Since the latest changes, it
hasn't been long enough for me to have any crashes but the biggest
thing I notice now is based on my last message to this thread where I
couldn't kill it from my root session but I could from another console
using the same ID from which I started gnome in the first place.  I
haven't had any situations yet where Orca was hung and needed this
forced restart.  I haven't yet been prompted for new setup
information; in fact, I can't think of any time when that has ever
happened to me except for a brand new startup of Orca or deletion of
the .orca folder.
