Re: [orca-list] Orca crashes after login

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann:

The timeout tells me something is wrong with the a11y integration. 
What's happening at the point in question is that Orca is trying to find 
the active window on the desktop, but the call to the registry is 
hanging.  This could be many many things.  :-(

The only non-standard environment I work with these days is a vncserver. 
 In my vncserver xstartup script, I make sure I run gnome-session. 
That seems to take care of things for me.  Since your startx script 
launches other things, it's hard for me to tell what you might be doing.

In any case, this is getting out of the scope of Orca and into the area 
of a highly customized non-standard X/GNOME configuration.  I wish I had 
the luxury of being able to chase this down (it would be a fun learning 
experience), but I'm just too swamped and need to focus on other things 
right now.  :-(
