First of all this really sounds like a kludgey solution to me. First of all sharing a single PA instance between multiple users is a secuirty hole and I can only advise distributions not to configure PA that way. Also, reconfiguring PA depending if a11y is used or not is ugly anyway. So, really, what I would suggest is to implement proper CK support in that speakup tts daemon, and hence allow proper device handover between bootup/login tts daemons, gdm tts daemons and user tts daemons. Sure it is a bit more code, but its the clean solution. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
