Hi again,

It's a long standing problem. Some of the admin applications like synaptic use a program called gksu to prompt you for your password if they need to run as root. But the program causes Orca to go silent after the password has been entered.

To get around this run the program from gnome-terminal.

So to run synaptic type

sudo synaptic

I was trying to use the synaptic package manager with Orca.

I open this, I'm prompted to enter my root password to gain permission.

As soon as I click OK, Orca goes silent.

Is there some way to configure Orca to work with these admin applications?

Thanks.
