Created attachment 263121 [details] Debug file with possible showing why happened this issue Dear Joanie, My Ubuntu Saucy I experienced a very interesting issue, I tested only the problem with Orca master version. If need, I testing this problem with Orca 3.10.2 version. When I launch any application with gksu command, Orca not reading the application interface. Example testcase with I reproduced always the problem: Open terminal, and run gksu gedit command. If need, type your password. Expected result: Orca reading Gedit interface. Actual result: Orca absolute silent. This situation not presenting any error message. To ensure this is not a mixed components related problem from Saucy, I upgraded my Saucy installation from git the at-spi2-core, at-spi2-atk and atk to 2.10.x versions. Some time I experienced this issue when I launch any GUI application with sudo command, or my normal user account. To restrict not a buggy preference producing this issue, I keep a clean user folder my home partition and have a test user. If I login the testing account with not have any customized preferences, I experiencing this issue too, gksu command prefix absolute sure. I attaching the debug.out file. You succesfuly reproducing this problem with Ubuntu Saucy virtual environment? When I launching for example Gedit with sudo command, I see following message in Terminal, now Orca for example not readed the Gedit application interface with sudo privilege: hammera@hammera-Satellite-L300:~$ sudo gedit [sudo] password for hammera: ** (gedit:5029): WARNING **: Could not load Gedit repository: Typelib file for namespace 'GtkSource', version '3.0' not found (gedit:5029): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/hammera/.config/ibus/bus is not root! hammera@hammera-Satellite-L300:~$ The last line wrote file automaticaly creating my system, and automaticaly get my owner privilege the file.

I can reproduce this in Ubuntu. I also cannot see/access the gksu-launched gedit in Accerciser. In other words, this is not an Orca bug. There is an old, open bug about gksu in Ubuntu filed against AT-SPI (bug 449159). That bug mentions the use of gksu-polkit. When I use gksu-polkit in Fedora, apps launched via gksu-polkit are accessible as expected. I do not see gksu-polkit in Ubuntu, so I don't know what you should do there. Perhaps file a downstream bug against gksu or at-spi? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 449159 ***
Hi Joanie, Thank you your ansver. Hovewer, the gksu-polkit command founding the command-not-found service, oldest time existing the gksu-polkit package into universe repository but apt-get not founding this package. If you trying gksu-polkit command in terminal, will be suggesting the service this package. :-(:-( I will be asking a question into Ubuntu a11y list, possible Luke will be have an ydea what possible doing this situation.
