Title:
  There is no apparent way to stop Orca

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Invalid
Status in gnome-orca package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The "Orca Screen Reader" icon in the Dash is a trap. If a user
  accidentally opens it, the only apparent recourse for the incessant
  jabber is to either mute the volume system-wide or log out. This makes
  for a very poor user experience.

  Orca could avoid this situation by providing at least one of the
  following:

    1) A notification of how to stop it, if there is a way to stop it.
    2) A confirmation prompt prior to starting.
    3) A quit option in a standard location such as the indicator menu.
