Hi Craig! You obviously hav something in your boot scripts that is calling pulseaudio. Check in /etc/init.d for pulse*, and move it to somdwhere it won't get executed, then reboot. When you want to log in to gnome and use orca, you can manually run the script with the start parameter. When you are finished with gnome, you can rerun the script with the stop parameter. If this doesn't help, give me acall.
