Applications run with sudo aren't accessible in Lucid?

Hi list,

I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid (via a fresh install) and I'm 
finding I can't get Orca to read any applications I run with sudo from 
the terminal.

For example; doing

sudo gedit test

Brings up an inaccessible window.

I had a quick look back through the archives but noone else seems to be 
reporting this.

Any ideas what's going on?

Running admin apps with sudo has been working fine in the last few 
releases of Ubuntu without need for any hacking or anything.

Thanks.
Paul
