Hi,

In Rich's case though Orca is not even saying the welcome message (as I 
understand it) so I question whether it's an AT-SPI problem.  It's odd that 
in his case Orca is neither speaking or producing any error messages (it 
would produce error messages if it was an AT-SPI problem wouldn't it?). 
Since all it's doing is sitting there until a control + C to kill it makes 
me assume it's just crashing straight away.  That's why I suggested a 
reinstall - of a stable version e.g. 2.22.0

I do think that any mechanism whereby Orca could inform the user about 
missing essential processes for accessibility that are not working would be 
a good thing though.
