[orca-list] unable to read applications menu

[Alex Snow <lists h14me homelinux net>]

Hi,

i just did a fresh install of gnome-2.20.3 (from binary packages) and I've run into an odd problem...I can't 
pull down 
the applications menu...all the other ones in the panel work fine, but the applications menu refuses all 
attempts to be 
pulled down.  Where should I look to start troubleshooting this? I'm running svn orca/at/spi/atk/gail from 
today, but 
the same behavior existed with orca and friends from the stock gnome-2.20.3 distro...thanks for any help...
