a question about gnome

[Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis]

Those applications should be accessible now. However you will need to
login to Gnome and start Orca as root, not an ordinary user account. If
you haven't already done so, you will need to enable the root account:

This shouldn't be required. It is a known issue with the Gnome
accessibility framework, it is being worked on, but as far as I can see
it hasn't yet been fixed. See the following bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163132

Hope that helps.
