Re: Orca which version of python-orbit is to be used with ?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

That seems to indicate that gnome-panel isn't running, and thus you're
not going to get the applications menu (Alt+F1) or other things that the
panel provides.  

You might try running gnome-panel from a terminal window to see where it
is complaining.  At this point, however, we're getting beyond the realm
of orca and accessibility and jumping into working with the core
desktop.  We can try to help, but there might be more appropriate
discussions lists for that kind of thing.
