OK, found it.

Since some time I started Orca with a wrapper script named orca:
orca.bin &
setxkbmap

orca.bin being the real orca.

I did that because then every time I used the preferences GUI
it changed the X keyboard map even not making any change

So I though that maybe this instruction:
pid = os.getpid()
gave the pid of the wrapper script and of course then p != pid

So I just got rid of the wrapper script and Bingo! now orca -r works.

Fortunately there have been changes in Orca since I introduced
this workaround, so it is not needed any more.

Best,

Didier
