Ok, this works. There used to be an orca-autostart.desktop file in this
directory but it appeared useless. Looking at the file it seemed to only
work if visual accessibility was enabled.
Therefore I tried to enable this by going to applications> system
tools> preferences >system settings. However, when I select the
universal accessibility settings it crashes returning me to the
desktop.
The syslog shows this:
Nov 19 19:40:05 debian-laptop kernel: [13342.036203] gnome-control-c[17683]: segfault at 0 ip b07831e2 sp bfe41c50 error 4 in libuniversal-access.so[b077e000+f000]
It doesn't look particularly good to me. Anyway doing what you said
works, but in the process I've found another issue - I can't use the
universal accessibility settings.
Thanks for your help, Jason.
Daniel
