It seems to be ORBit is ``newer'' than gnome.

ORBIT_IDL_SERIAL is defined in several packages, among which
gnome-libs and control-center (I have not reached gnome-core yet),
where it is defined as 8, while ORBit defines it in orb.h as 9 and
subsequently checks it. Hence the error message. I try to replace 8 by
9, but I am not sure whether it works. Newer versions than 0.99.5 are
not available for gnome-libs afaik, so trying an older OBit might work
(but is not something to be happy about).
