This looks like it might be bug #462475
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462475

Orca will crash due to Non-ASCII characters in  .orca/user-settings.py 
file.

Adding the line:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

to the beginning of the ~/.orca/user-settings.py file (also to the
beginning of any application specific settings files written out),
should fix it (until the next time you go to write out your preferences).

The real fix in Orca has been checked into both the gnome-2-20 branch
and SVN HEAD. You might wish to check out the version in the gnome-2-20
branch and use that.

Here's Will's notes from a few days ago:

Hi Everyone:

For those of you working against the SVN versions of Orca, it is
important to let you know that we branched Orca this week.  What does
this mean for you?

* For work on Orca for GNOME 2.20, you need to use the gnome-2-20
  branch.  We'll work to keep this stable:

  svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/branches/gnome-2-20

  All releases for GNOME 2.20 (e.g., Orca 2.19.90, Orca 2.19.91, ...)
  will be based from this branch.

* For work on Orca for the future (e.g., GNOME 2.22), you need to
  use the trunk, which is what most of you might be using.  This
  is going to get very unstable for the next few weeks, so I suggest
  you stick with gnome-2-20 unless you like being on the real 
  bleeding edge:

  svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/orca/trunk

Will
