Thanks for reporting this. I agree entirely, this is clearly a major issue for anyone who relies on Orca. Unfortunately we don't capture accessibility stuff in the release criteria right now, which is an omission we should fix and I'm sorry about that. The error I get trying to run orca from a terminal is a Python traceback: [adamw@vaioz live]$ orca Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (orca:31286): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/orca/orca.py", line 2205, in main init(pyatspi.Registry) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/orca/orca.py", line 1618, in init "object:children-changed") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/registry.py", line 269, in registerEventListener self._set_default_registry () File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/registry.py", line 163, in _set_default_registry self._set_registry (MAIN_LOOP_GLIB) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/registry.py", line 134, in _set_registry cache = AccessibleCache (app_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/cache.py", line 326, in __init__ self._manager = DesktopCacheManager (self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/cache.py", line 87, in __init__ bus = SyncAccessibilityBus (registry.Registry()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/busutils/bus.py", line 163, in __new__ _bus.BusConnection.__new__ (cls, _get_accessibility_bus_address(), None) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyatspi/busutils/bus.py", line 30, in _get_accessibility_bus_address from Xlib import display, Xatom ImportError: No module named Xlib looks like it may wind up being a dependency issue, if the Xlib module is available somehow; if not, it means orca needs rewriting in some way, or the module got renamed, or the module hasn't been rebuilt for Python 2.7, or something like that. I will file a bug, mark it as NTH for Beta RC3, and investigate.
