Bug Description

1. Enable Orca Screen reader (Universal Access)
2. Log out & back in again. Orca will autostart.
3. Click the [X] to close the orca window (not the Quit button).
4. Click "cancel"

Orca seems to be working so far. But if you repeat step 3, this time it will fail to read the dialogue.

[At first I thought this had something to do with the prodiguous amount of errors I'm getting when I run Orca from a terminal. But that's an issue with Unity (2D). If I switch to gnome-session-fallback, I can still reproduce this bug, and I don't get *any* errors on stdout].

Here's the smallest amount of errors I can get out of orca.

$ orca > orca.log 2>&1

Alt-Tab back to terminal window
Ctrl-C to quit orca.

orca.log is over 15 kb.

As per description, the above orca.log should be ignored.
