Warping your system with a sledgehammer certainly may cause half a
minute delays. Do you really need GNOME? I recall you mentioned other
DE's in your messages. Either reinstall orca and *properly* disable it
or uninstall it completely using package manager.
Thats the only way I could shut the s.o.b. up after the install. The
audio volume control didn't work or the input orca was using was wide open.
Those dependencies that initially locked it in have since been removed,
and so has orca been removed with apt, about 6 months later but that
made no diff. I have grep'd the whole system looking for orca in a
script, a couple times, getting no usable hits. First I searched /etc,
and finding zip, did the same for /. That took a couple days, mostly in
/home.
Other applications may wait orca startup completion.
That's been my theory also. Some will wait for the timeout, like
shotwell, and some won't faiing instantly like digiKam. All the slicers
wait, complaining about webkit crap & missing gtk junk, but work just
fine once running. And other than the startup spew, many screens full
when started from an xfce4 cli, they run just fine. But the spew never
reports a pkg name I can search for and install, just a few hundred
missing library? functions. Repeated hundreds of times. I have posted
copy/pastes of some of that, hoping it would ring a bell with someone,
crickets.
