No at-spi is not installed, from debian, only installed this from
source.

Installed all of these, but still getting the same nasty errors...

Perhaps, though seems like a fair bit of trouble for something that
should be relatively straight forward. 

I'll keep investigating further when I get a chance, but maybe it's
better just running from orca which is in the debian repository. 

Do you know how far out of date orca in debian would be? 

I'd of course like to try and solve the problem though. 

Thanks for your help,
