[orca-list] self-voicing apps and orca--was Re: so cloase with xfce and orca

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Hi,

I use a self-voicing game that seems to peacefully coexist with orca. 
When the game puts up a dialogue, it and orca both speak it.  I don't 
know whether the game and orca share an instance of speech dispatcher, 
or maybe the game launches its own?
