Hi Jason;

orca should work OK without having a gnome session already running. 
However, with recent changes to at-spi there is one caveat. Since the 
'atk-bridge' no longer uses bonobo-activation to start the AT-SPI 
registry on-demand, some process needs to manually start 
at-spi-registryd before running an ATK/AT-SPI application.

On most systems, running "/usr/libexec/at-spi-registryd&" in an xterm 
before starting a Gnome app should do the trick. The exact path to 
at-spi-registryd may vary depending on your distribution.

Best regards,

Bill
