That should work. We do something like that in the gaim script.

According to the code comments in orca.py, you should be able
to pass in None for the event, but I think that now breaks in
locusOfFocusChanged() at about line 1136:

           shouldNotInterrupt = (event.type == "focus:") \

Will, we might need to adjust this when CVS write-access returns.
