On my system (fully updated Ubuntu Gutsy), gedit does not appear in the 
accessible hierarchy when run as root. As expected, Orca will output key 
echoes but will not read the menu structures. This is because Orca 
registers for key stroke events but does not have a view of the 
accessible hierarchy if an application has not registered. I use gedit 
as a test application because I am sure it is accessible. It has no 
direct relationship with gdmsetup.
