[orca-list] Getting Orca to work on Arch Linux

[Robert Spangler <spangler robert gmail com>]

Hello all, I installed Arch on my laptop today.  I also installed gnome 
and gnome-extras which includes orca.  When I start Gnome (either via 
startx or gdm) I get sound as is verified in the gnome-terminal window, 
but orca does not speak when I try to activate it.  It appears to be 
running, though, because I piped the output of the orca command to 
espeak and it said another instance was running.

I read the archives and saw that some people were having issues in the 
past but I saw no solutions.
