File Choosers Not Working with Orca in Oneiric

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is an Orca bug, a Gnome 3 bug, or something 
peculior to Oneiric.  File chooser dialogues, such as 'save as' crash 
the application that creates them.  I discovered this when trying to 
save a text file from gedit.  First, I tried just entering a name into 
the text field and hitting 'enter'; gedit crashed.  Next, I tried 
navigating to a particular directory, then saving; same result.  In both 
cases, gedit crashed, and my file did not get written.  I can specify a 
path on the gedit command line, such as in the dash,  and, as long as I 
hit 'ctrl+s' to save, before exiting, my file is saved correctly.  I am 
still running an out-of=-the-box Oneiric.  Might adding the proposed 
and/or extra a11y sources fix this?


  Thanks,


Dave
