Re: [orca-list] linux mint, mate

That's not entirely true, I've had (some) success spamiming orca 
--replace in a terminal to get Orca to stay on and install, though how 
long it takes before Orca stays on on my system varies, oddly enough. It 
always seems to stayon in the end however and do the install just fine 
for me though, constantly togging Orca or orca --replace seems to do it 
in a terminal for me.
