Hi Cody:
The main development platforms for the Orca team are Solaris
and Ubuntu,
and we do little on Fedora. But, with your help, we can try
to explore
this problem further. The Alt+F2 problem is indeed a bad
one, and I
think it is related to this bug in GTK+:
http
://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326362
I believe it is fixed in gtk+-2.8.16. This was done within
hours of the
GNOME 2.14 deadline, so if Fedora jumped the gun, they might
not have
gotten this in their release.
For the possibility orca quitting altogether, I think we
need to do a
little more investigation. Do you have other strategies you
can use to
access the machine, such as switching to a virtual console
or logging in
from a different machine? If so, it would be interesting to
see if:
o Orca is running: ps -elf | grep orca
o Speech is running: ps -elf | grep synthesis-driver
In addition, instead of rebooting, see if the desktop comes
back if you
kill speech and orca and then restart orca.
