Re: [orca-list] Accessing administration tools in Ubuntu 8.04.

[Kenny Hitt <kenny hittsjunk net>]

Hi.  On my Debian Sid box, part of the problem was fixed by changes to my /etc/sudoers file.
One of the changes I'd noticed recently was I could no longer do commands like sudo gedit file.  The command 
would work,
but Orca couldn't read anything in the gedit window.  I used visudo to add the following line to /etc/sudoers
and it now works again.

Defaults env_keep+="GTK_MODULES"

It appears sudo was recently changed to remove most of the user's environment before running the command.  
The GTK_MODULES var was one that had been removed.

Hope this helps.
          Kenny
