This may be a case of the entire desktop getting hung.  We have made 
changes recently to greatly improve this problem.  Are you at least 
running orca 0.2.5? 
If this happens, try switching to another vertual terminal for example 
with: CTRL+ALT+F1 and kill -9 orca and festival-synthesis-driver. 
Stability is always a top priority for the orca team so more work will 
be coming in this area very soon.
