Re: [orca-list] speech-dispatcher, where else does it get its settings?

["Derek London" <derekedit hotmail com>]

Ah, I see it now. in /var/lib/gdm/.speech-dispatcher/conf there was the 
speechd.conf I didn't see before, with DefaultModule espeak. This copy, like 
the others, has all but a few of the settings commented out.
So:
sed -i 's/DefaultModule espeak/DefaultModule ibmtts/' speechd.conf
and then, to check that it's actually there:
cat /var/lib/gdm/.speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf | grep ibmtts

AddModule "ibmtts"       "sd_ibmtts"    "ibmtts.conf"
DefaultModule ibmtts

Whoops, it still uses espeak at the login screen. There's also a .orca 
directory in the gdm directory. Does that need to be there? This is not the 
issue of the century by any means, but I get curious whenever I encounter 
configuration files that don't seem to control the behavior of the programs 
that read from them.
