Please describe the problem:
When I open an application and I want to invoke the "Where_Am_I" function 
nothing happens.
This ocurs in almost all apps except Gedit, where it works correctly and 
Firefox, where it wokrs partially.
Selected text is not spoken in all OpenOffice programs including Evolution. 
In Nautilus selected files/folders were not spoken. 
Pressing Orca+Numpad-Enter to hear which application has focus results in 
silencce.
In Firefox the latter works, but the "Where_Am_I" function does not speak, 
but 
this is known.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an OO application, Nautilus or Evolution.
2. Select text you've typed or select a file/folder.
3. Press Numpad-Enter to hear your selection; you don't hear anything.
4. Press Orca+Numpad-Enter to hear which app has focus, you don't hear 
anything.



Actual results:
As I mentioned above, nothing happens. You should hear your selection or 
the name of the focused app.


Expected results:
I expect to hear my selection or the name of the app that has focus.


Does this happen every time?
It happens all the time.
