Bug#576226: gnome-orca: Orca doesn't start at all

[Odd Martin Baanrud]

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 2.22.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I'm using a Braillex EL80 braille display.
I've just tried to install gnome-orca.
When I've loged into gdm, I pressed Alt+F2, and then typed "orca".
The braille display changed text for a very short time, so short that I 
couldn't read it, and then went back to "screen not in text mode".
Then, I jumped to a text console and tried to run orca from there.
It gave a bunch for error messages:

idim at kristin:~$ orca
