Re: [orca-list] Raspbian: Problem starting orca under ratpoison

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

I'm guessing you have some gstreamer components but not all. Anyhoo, I 
just committed a change to Orca master which should stop the particular 
error you're seeing. Whether or not there will be more, I'm not sure. 
Therefore please try master and let me know. Thanks!
