LightDM a11y not working after Unstable upgrade



Hi,

after an update from Debian Jessie to Debian sid, I've noticed that the LightDM
accessibility is not working anymore. Orca starts with the usual greeter
message, but is silent afterwards. Neither keyboard input nor mouse clicks
produce any speech/braille output. There's an orca process still running
(validated with pgrep), but it seems to not react anymore.

I had a look at the log files:

/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log indicates that orca has been started:
[+0.49s] DEBUG: Session pid=1747: Running command /usr/bin/orca-dm-wrapper
/usr/sbin/lightdm-gtk-greeter

/var/log/x-0-greeter.log: notifies me that at-spi has been started properly
Activating service name='org.a11y.atspi.Registry'
Successfully activated service 'org.a11y.atspi.Registry'

I was able to reproduce this behaviour on two systems. On the current machine it
happened after a nearly fresh install of Jessie which was upgraded to unstable.

It works fine for `startx`. Could I look anywhere else to find the cause of the
issue?

Thanks in advance
Sebastian
