Re: [orca-list] Emacs and Orca again



Hi Bart,

Not sure if this is same problem. 

While testing karmic I found that Emacs compiled with support for GTK+ causes orca/at-spi to hang. Can you 
try out the latest emacs-snapshot-gtk and see if you can reproduce the problem. 

Cheers

Hi all, 

 Â 

I know that the issue of Emacs and
Orca not working nicely
together has come up in the past. 

 Â 

Previously I had managed to get them
to play together by
starting emacs from the console and exporting the DISPLAY
variable. For
reasons unknown to me this used to work around the issue of
hangs in orca when
emacs was started. 

 Â 

Now Iâve upgraded to Ubuntu
Karmic and this no longer
works. As I never understood why it worked in the
first place it makes it
hard to find what has changed to make it stop J. 

 Â 

I have read the gnome bug on the issue
(sorry donât
have the number handy) and it didnât make all that
much sence to
me. It appeared to say that it was the fault of
metacity but I
wasnât 100% clear on why. 

 Â 

So, Iâd love an
answer/workaround should such a thing
exist. 

 Â 

Not being overly optimistic I have
another question: 

Running emacs in a gnome terminal does
work without the
hangs. The issue I get when I do it this way is that
Orca insists on
reading text as well. So I end up with both Orca and
Emacspeak speaking
at the same time which is not the best J. 

 Â 

Is there a way I can disable speech in
Orca for a particular
gnome-terminal? 

 Â 

Any help appreciated. 

 Â 

Bart
