[orca-list] orca and gdm no longer playing nicely together

[John Covici <covici ccs covici com>]

Hi.  After my last update orca master and gdm are not working
together.  When I start gdm 3.36.4 orca does not start.  If I run it
by hand in another terminal as root with DISPLAY=:0, I get the
following traceback:

[1] 4188516
root@ccs:~ # Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/orca", line 44, in <module>
      from orca import orca

               from . import mouse_review

                                    seat = Gdk.Display.get_default_seat(display)
                                    TypeError: Argument 0 does not allow None as a
                                    value

[1]  + exit 1     orca

If I log in "blind" then orca works normally.

I am using the infamous gtk+3.24.24, if that makes any difference and
gdm 3.36.4.  The orca master is as of
commit ee411f2f0ef9e9908ad7a48f4f4083e662b5b67e (HEAD -> master,
origin/master, origin/HEAD)

I also get from the kernel

Dec 15 04:15:44 ccs.covici.com kernel: proc: Bad value for 'hidepid'

Any assistance on this one would be appreciated.
