These are warnings issues by the gtk Python module, which is a 
completely separate thing from Orca.  I don't think Orca has any control 
about the gtk module's choice to do so.  :-(

As for the answer to your question for why Orca wants X, there's a lot 
of code in it that ends up tickling/importing the gtk module.  Some of 
this code happens in Orca before it decides to use the text-only setup. 
 I'm not sure how easy it will be to eliminate this, but I'd welcome a 
patch from someone if they can gracefully eliminate it.

Very strange.  I'm not sure why this could be happening.  I wonder if 
some sort of CORBA state is going awry or something.  Do you have the 
capabilities to debug this further?
