Using Orca with root permissions

[Paul Hunt]

Hi again,

It's a long standing problem.  Some of the admin applications like 
synaptic use a program called gksu to prompt you for your password if 
they need to run as root.  But the program causes Orca to go silent 
after the password has been entered.

To get around this run the program from gnome-terminal.

So to run synaptic type

sudo synaptic
