Well, it's a nit in any case. The semantic problem is triggered by renaming Orca to "screen-reader," e.g. the following makes more sense: orca --replace However, the cleanup you note should simply be good practice regardless. I see no way that "replace" suggests cleanup on restart, whereas "restart" suggests no cleanup. That just doesn't make sense. PS: Does a Ctrl-Alt-Del perform a replace?

I finally have maid installed on my arch system. It looks different than ubuntu Nate because it does not have many applications on it. The major problem I am having is that orca does not speak. Espeakup in the command line works but as soon as I go into Nate orca although turned on does not work.
