Description Willie Walker 2009-01-22 20:13:58 UTC 
From the Orca list:

1. Disable braille support in the braille page.
2. Click OK and restart orca.
3. Activate orca's preferences, locate the pronunciation page,
   tab to the new entry button and press the space key.

The result is that orca stops completely and I need to press
ctrl+alt+backspace to restart gnome session.
