Re: [orca-list] updating broke something

["Albert Sten-Clanton" <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

I can't say for sure, but it's hard to believe my problem is not somehow
related to this one.  I upgraded a week ago today, using "pacman -Syyu", as
I typically do.  In my case, though, my use of "startx" didn't even get me
close to bringing up Orca.  Even the X stuff didn't load, it seems.  I ended
up reinstalling Arch this week, including Gnome and Orca and other GUI items
I use.  Once again, "startx" hasn't even gotten me close to trying to bring
up Orca.  My log file had problematic messages concerning my nVidia drives,
but several tries at addressing those failed utterly.  I'd be mighty
grateful for any new ideas.

I've been maintaining an Arch system here all along and even with the
latest updates of speakup and espeak and all, I haven't had any
problems with Orca.  I've been using git versions of Orca however, and
I don't know if perhaps there is something wrong with the production
version of Orca - doubt it though.  The PKGBUILD script for Orca is
pretty strate forward.  I've never seen the slew of errors you spoke
of.  How are launching your X session? Are using gdm to login or do
you do a 'startx' from a normal user from the text console?
