Orca no longer uses festival, it uses speech-dispatcher. I may have
festival installed, but it may be old or something. My problem seems to
be that orca speech does not work while starting from gdm, but works
from a regular gnome session using my regular user. I think we are down
to something like that now. I will check on the orca list and see if
they can tell me anything as well.
