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.
