problem running orca-setup

[Kenny Hitt <kenny hittsjunk net>]

Hi. I'm still in the early stages of learning Python.  I'm trying to
play with orca.  When I run the orca-setup program, I get the following
error.

kenny spot:~$ python /usr/bin/orca-setup
Creating .orca directory.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/orca-setup", line 49, in ?
      import speech
        File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/orca/speech.py", line 20,
	in ?
	    from core import ORBit, bonobo
	    RuntimeError: Can not load accessibility support

	    I have a Gnome session open with Gnopernicus running.  Could
	    this be the problem?  I checked and the modules being
	    imported do exist.  Any ideas?
I'm running Debian unstable with Gnome 2.8 and Python 2.3.
	    Thanks in advance for any help.
