Ok, so for the transient glitch we can use that, that will be smoother.
I'll submit a PR.

Ok, so you only rely on starting brltty *after* orca for brltty to catch
the output when switching to mate-terminal?  That can explain why the
second is a consequence of the first indeed, I hadn't thought of that

FWIW, all of this will be simplified by brltty 6.1 and its BrlAPI
priority preference support. Orca already knows how to benefit from it.
