Hi I've sorted it. I'd forgotten that to stop emacs crashing Orca when running it under GTK I was running emacs with the following script, (posted by someone on the Orca list): #!/bin/sh export NO_GAIL=1 export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 /usr/bin/emacs $* Removing this from my path resolved my problems. I believe the problem is that $* removes some quotes when passing the arguments, so messing up the commandline actually passed to emacs. Maybe it should be /usr/bin/emacs "$*", although I haven't tested it. Anyway, I'm sorry for bothering the list with this, and thank you to everyone who gave suggestions.
