Hm, yes I noticed that as well. We should just report that as a bug 
against gnome-speech. ( I was trying to get orca running, on my 
installed system but was blocked by this).

Ah, I see Luke has already filed it :)

I happened to see a bug today claiming that persistence is quite complex 
to use. Yeah, I don't know what implications turning it on by default 
would have if you didn't have a USB stick or whatever attached. I guess 
it's easy to find out :)

I'm weary of trying to add this now, way past feature freeze. It is 
possible to select an F5 option and then add more with F6 right?
