[orca-list] Fedora 25 / gdm crash of Orca

["Katzmann, Michael" <mkat loc gov>]

I cannot get Orca to work with GDM on my Fedora 25 system. This is a recent problem and may have arisen from 
a python update.
Has anyone else seen this crash and can suggest a work around ?

Also, it seems that orca is not staring on log in. I have to restart it once logged in to get it to run.
