GDM keeps losing Orca speech

[Bill Cox]

I installed Lucid 3 days ago, with Orca enabled (option F5, and item 3
in the first install window).  Orca comes up reading the gdm login
window just fine.  However, yesterday, I did an "sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get upgrade", and gdm lost it's configuration and stopped
talking.  I found the magic commands to get it working again in Luke's
30accessibility scripts in casper.  They are:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool
/desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/startup true
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t string
/desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/exec orca
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool
/desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_reader_enabled true

Gdm was somewhat broken 3 days ago, so I wasn't too worried that it's
config was lost when I upgraded.  However, today I upgraded again, and
gdm stopped talking again, and I had to re-execute the commands above
to fix it.  Is this a long-term problem that blind users will keep
running into?
