[orca-list] trouble running Orca

[Mike Gorse <mgorse mgorse dhs org>]

I'm having trouble starting Orca.  I type alt-f2, orca, enter, and I get 
this message:

Cannot start orca because it cannot connect to the Desktop.  Please make 
sure the DISPLAY environment variable has been set.

Does anyone know what this might mean or where the message is coming 
frolm?  I can't find that error string anywhere I've looked...

I've tried starting gnome-terminal and exporting environment variables 
from it, and display is, in fact, set.

I've had Orca working on this machine before but presumably broke things 
by upgrading something somewhere along the line. *sigh*
