Running admin apps?

[Tony Sales]

I was informed that running speech-dispatcher as a service would allow
Orca to read admin apps requiring root permission without having to
carry out the modifications recommended on the Orca site e.g. create
orbitrc file for root, edit sudoers file etc. Have I been misinformed or
have I done something wrong?

I installed speech-dispatcher and python-speechd (on Ubuntu 8.10) and
switched over to Alsa and disabled PulseAudio as advised. This did
improve the responsiveness of Orca, but when I tried to run an admin app
Orca stopped reading. If I make the Orca sysadmin modifications it works
fine but I was hoping to avoid that. Do I have to set up a normal user
and a root user rather than run it as a service? Any advice gratefully
accepted.
