Bug#673899: gnome-orca: Cannot enable magnifier. Bonobo.GeneralError is thrown whenever the box gets checked.

[Patrick Rooney]

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 2.30.2-2
Severity: important

In the preferences menu, the following exception gets thrown as soon as you
check the 'Enable magnifier' box:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/orca/orca_gui_prefs.py", line 3230, in
magnifierSupportChecked
    mag.init()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/orca/mag.py", line 967, in init
    "GNOME/Magnifier/Magnifier")
Bonobo.GeneralError

You also can't adjust the magnifier settings (probably due to this). When you
re-open the preferences menu, 'Enable magnifier' is unchecked regardless of
whether you changed it previously.
