[Bug 58660] orca menu item fails to launch

[mlind]

Public bug reported:


Starting orca from menu doesn't work as expected. Process dies after short period of time. I can hear voice asking "Enable echo by word?  Enter y or n:", but no visible dialog appears make make this choice.

Launching orca from terminal produces:
$ orca
kill: 190: No such process
Welcome to Orca setup.
Enable echo by word?  Enter y or n:
