Hy,

Milton, you using automatic login or normal GDM accessible login feature 
with screen reader support? If you use accessible login, Orca is talking 
with GDM screen and not talking after you login?
If this problem is happening, when you logged in, you possible need do 
killall speech-dispatcher command to stop Speech-dispatcher and press 
some keys to reinitialize in gnome-terminal. If this workaround help 
you, we little begin found what the problem with your machine.
If this step is help your problem, this problem is happening in Git 
master Orca version because Ubuntu packaged Orca version Luke do a patch 
with fix this problem after login with kill speech-dispatcher 
automaticaly before Orca is starting, but this patch is not part of Orca 
git master version.
For example, because I using Orca git master version, I doed following 
workaround my system to prewent this problem, this workaround is not 
need if anybody using Ubuntu packaged original Orca versions:
1. I put .bash_logout file the killall speech-dispatcher command with 
end of file.
2. I put prewious wroted line with /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default file 
before the exit line.

Hope this helps,

Attila
