Debian 7 speak up and gnome clashing

[Joseph Norton]

Ok.  I haven't used them concurrently.

How would I go about disabling speakup until I need it?

Thanks!

In the beginning of vinux, I think it was running pulse in systemwide mode that made it possible to run speakup via speech dispatcher and orca at the same time, but I may be missing something. Either way, just as long as you don't start gnome or perhaps orca, speakup works great.
