Bug#613086: gnome-orca: Orca doesn't work anymore after a migration on desktop

[Jean-Philippe Mengual <mengualjeanphi@free.fr>]

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 2.30.2-2
Severity: important


Hi,

I'm writing this report from chroot environment (so I changed kernel release by name here).

The problem is simple: after a migration lenny to squeeze, orca doesn't
work anymore on the desktop (alt-ctrl-d). Moreover, alt-F1 doesn't open
the menu. When I'm on gnome-terminal, it works. On Iceweasel, it works
too. alt-Space works in the terminal. But when I do alt-F1, alt-F2,
alt-ctrl-d, it doesn't display anything (only (X-nautilus-desktop and
Icon).

I precise also that gnome-orca is very few reactive (slow) when I go to
such parts on the system. When I see nothing is displayed, I do alt-tab
to come to the terminal and I've to wait a long time before having my
terminal. Actually, ins-space works, ins-q doesn't.

Last strange thing: in the file written by --debug option, I get "no
script gnome-terminal.py". I'll attach the file, which contains --debug
output and orca -l result.

Thanks for your help. I cannot go to squeeze in such conditions now, the
desktop is nearly unusable for me.

Regards,
