For whatever reason, when started before you log in, the dtk-generic module doesn't work properly. I'm not sure if this is just with the dectalk or whether if it applies to all synthesizers based on the generic module, since the other one is Epos which is a czech language synthesizer that I don't have. Other modules don't exhibit this issue, and I'm definitely checking this out further.
