     Legal, fazemos bons amigos no software livre. Cool. We do make
really good friends in open-source.

    Easy, start orca; create file syp.sh (gedit syp.sh) and paste:

#init paste
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility false
sleep 1
gksu synaptic &
sleep 10
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true
# end paste


    Now, in terminal, make executable:

$ chmod +x syp.sh

    To call:

$ ./syp.sh

    Of course, there are several ways of doing. But, now make fun :)
