gnome-orca never installs this configuration file.

I am guessing it was either manually created, or created by some part of
the accessible installation.

It is no bussiness of Orca to delete configuration files which it has
never installed.  The correct fix is to make sure the file does not
create a failure if Orca is not installed.

@debian-accessibility: Does anyone know which package creates this file?
