14.04 logon screen: Orca starts up and immediately shuts down

[Bill Taylor]

Hi Nick,
before you log in, everything is being run by root. The  drums sound, 
and/or screen-reader are telling you to enter your password. Once you do 
this, orca will be restarted by Nick automatically.  Security!

Alt + super + s is a toggle, will turn orca on or off. (super is also 
known as the windows key.) The two keys to the left or right of the 
space bar, + s will do the job, on an international key board.

Hope  This Helps,

Bill
