Re: [orca-list] gnome on enterprise linux

[Li Yuan <Li Yuan Sun COM>]

What's the version of gnome-session on your system? Is it earlier than 
2.17? If so, you need to upgrade your gnome-session to versions later 
than 2.17. gnome-session before version 2.17 do not start 
at-spi-registryd. If you can not upgrade gnome-session, you can try to 
start at-spi-registryd by yourself. But in this case, all applications 
which are started before at-spi-registryd will not be accessible.
