[RESOLVED] can't stop ORCA from autostarting on boot up
Hi, I made the mistake of trying ORCA screen reader (ubuntu 8.10). It seems to work OK, but now it automatically starts on boot up. I opened the preferences and unchecked the auto start checkbox, hit apply, then the checkbox automatically gets checked again. Hmmm.. Searching this forum and also checking to see if there is a Orca forum didn't show up anything.
Anyone have a suggestion?Ubuntu 11.04 on IBM ThinkCentre
Fedora, VMware Player (windows xp,Knoppix 6.5) on Lenovo Laptop
GRUB Fedora / Windows 7, VMware Player (Windows 2008 server) on NCIX quad core PC.

rm `which orca`
