Description Willie Walker 2007-02-02 23:28:10 UTC 
From bug 398531:

1. Launch Orca
2. Get into the Preferences dialog, Speech page
3. Switch the speech system from gnome-speech to emacspeak and press the Apply
button.
4. Switch the speech system from emacspeak back to gnome-speech and press the
Apply button.
5. Look in the speech system combo box: emacspeak is no longer there.

You have to quit Orca and restart it to be able to choose emacspeak again.

I believe this is a problem with the emacspeak speech factory not shutting down properly.   I think what's happening is that, when it comes back up, it tells you that no servers exist.  As such, the GUI preferences dialog doesn't add it to the list of possible options.

The workaround is to restart Orca.

This one just kept bothering me.  I had a few minutes before dinner, so I chased it down. Patch committed.  Closing as FIXED.
