I can not run orca with speech-dispatcher

[jose vilmar estacio de souza]

Hi Steve and all.
My problem regarding speech-dispatcher and orca not speaking in the 
login screen was solved.

I created the following directory structure inside /var/lib/gdm.

.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
There is a . (dot) before the local.

Inside this directory I created a file named mypath.pth with the 
following content:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
