ubuntu 11.10 orca and speakup do not work together

[Justin Harford]

Hi again all

I'm sorry about the inconsistancies, but it seems like my system does
not always work consistantly. Now it is insisting in only premitting
me to access speakup. I could not even get orca to sound off by
logging in to the desktop first. I'm emailing from lynx and gmail now
using speakup.

This is a strange problem.

Justin Harford
