Re: [orca-list] 14.04 logon screen: Orca starts up and immediately shuts down

["B.Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

This happens fairly often in my experience, but usually after restarted 
it wil run fine for some time, maybe till the next kernel update, but 
sometimes something else triggers this, and I'm not sure that it will 
always happen on a given system each kernel update/just one time I've 
seen this occur frequently, happened on 12.04 some as well.
I sometimes have to go to the menu bar and enter on screenreader as the 
hot key will not restart orca.
A minor annoyance, but very quick to fix once one knows to expect the 
posibility.
