Re: [orca-list] Problem with orca starting on ArchLinux and gnome 2.30

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I don't think the issue exists for those upgrading to gnome 2.30, its 
when your doing a fresh install and as memory serves I don't think it 
existed in earlier gnome versions on ArchLinux (it worked fine on gnome 
2.28). I got orca running after a little muddling through and its 
running fine now, but I don't think I could tell anyone what to do to 
get to the same state.
