On my desktop I have an up to date installation of the Debian Sid Gnome packages. On my laptop, I have just freshly installed X and Gnome, also from Debian Sid. Orca is installed and configured in both cases.
On the desktop, if I run startx, Gnome starts up but Orca doesn't, until I type Alt-F2 orca <cr> On the laptop, sometimes Orca starts, but other times a message is displayed stating that I have requested assistive technology support for this session, but the AT-SPI registry isn't running. Pressing enter does not clear this message, which can only be done by someone else using a pointing device. Once the message is cleared, though, Orca runs successfully. I think this is a timing problem of some sort, involving at-spi-registryd, at least on the laptop. In case it is relevant, the laptop has a single-core AMD x86_64 CPU; the desktop has two dual-core Intel Xeon CPUs. I realize this could well be a dsitribution-specific issue, as Debian is still migrating from Gnome 2.20 to Gnome 2.22. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
