Package: gnome-orca

Hi everyone,

after installing Debian Lenny, I wanted to configure orca. As I carried 
out the installation of the gnome-orca package on the text console 
anyway, I meant to start the text setup right away too. This would have 
the advantage that one could read the available options with the braille 
display.

The text setup was not started. I received the following errors:

simon at lenny:~$ orca --text-setup
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72: 
GtkWarning: could not open display
   warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

line 111, in sayAndPrint
     return raw_input(text)

It would be nice it this problem could be fixed as the text setup is a 
good alternative to the speaking-only setup.

Best regards, Simon
