Hi Mike Have you tried the Orbtrics (?) file as described on the Orca System Admin help pages? Note only works in 7.0.4
For any other versions of Ubuntu you'll have to go into the terminal sudo into root and launch the program from there. This of course is dependant on the app in question actually being available to the AT-SPI bridge in the first place. If it hasn't been written with the bridge in place, there's no other alternative but to find another app that does what you want that does have the bridge. Generally speaking any app that uses GTK + should be OK.

The commands I have to get accepted I created a text file containing them which I will paste into this email.
