Re: [orca-list] Orca not automatically starting with the desktop, although configured

Jeanette, thanks again.  I found that I already had a similar 
file--well--a much smaller one apparently designed when I first got my 
system up.  That said, it was another thing to try and I appreciate it.

Now, after a lot of screwing around, making and unmaking changes in 
files, I have a system that at least *sort of* works.  It might even 
give me access to the Debian accessibility mailing list, or at least 
make it easier.  I followed the steps in the Debian accessibility wiki 
page for disabling pulseaudio so that I would not have to disable 
espeakup.service.  I have both speakup and orca talking at the moment, 
but the ps command shows pulseaudio as running.  Orca was running but 
did not talk after I booted up, but the orca --replace command seemed to 
fix that.  Orca is on TTY2, where it used to be on TTY7, and I can't 
figure out if anything's on TTY1.  So, I'd like a system that makes more 
sense to me, but that both console and gui are working at the moment is 
good.
