Re: [orca-list] keyboard loses focus after logging in

    It sounds like the problem where the Marco process gets hung.  I 
sent a debug.out to Jonie and brought it up on the Debian list, but 
nobody has an answer for it.  You can presss insert-space to bring up 
the ORCA menu and wait a few seconds and it may clear.  You can also 
kill the Marco process from a console session.  Once I kill the Marco 
process the ORCA session will start talking again.
