[orca-list] Orca won't read gnome desktop stuff

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I have a problem with orca not seeing any of the gnome desktop stuff. 
Let me explain what I mean a bit further. I have orca set to start 
automatically so when I log in to gnome orca starts and says "Welcome to 
orca". When I try and move about the desktop or access menus or press 
alt+f2 for the run dialog orca doesn't seem to be aware of any of this 
(I have turned debugging on and sure enough there is no mention of 
events from this sort of activity in the debug log). If I start an 
application from the run dialog (eg. thunderbird, gedit) then orca 
starts reading those applications but still doesn't see the 
gnome-desktop, gnome menus, etc.

What can I do to try and find out what the problem is? Any ideas of what 
might be wrong and how I might fix it?

My system is a debian unstable system running orca 2.28.1. I think the 
problems are related to an upgrade I did recently, does anyone know how 
I could get apt to reverse some of its latest steps (either that or at 
least a log of what it did so I can reverse the changes manually) and so 
try and find out the package causing the problem.
