Yes, that's normal behavior, now try typing exit and hitting enter at this 
point.  If all works well, you should be out on the system with orca 
talking.  Subsequent logins will bring the orca window up unless you told 
orca not to display its window when started.  If that's the case, remember 
you start out in desktop background so if you want the desktop hit 
control-alt-d then to bring up the top panel with all the menus in it you 
could hit control-alt-f1.  That top menu panel makes it so you can just 
use arrow keys to find applications and run them without having to use 
gnome-terminal.  Not all applications will run nicely in gnome-terminal 
anyway.
