The packages of a GNOME release are meant to work with each other, and 
mixing/matching packages from other GNOME releases really isn't 
supported.  So, your mileage will vary.  As we see in Rich's case, it 
can vary a lot.  :-(

As of GNOME 2.24.x, it may be safe to just upgrade to Orca from trunk on 
your GNOME 2.24.x system (I do it regularly).  However, it's not 
recommended.  Instead, you may want to grab Orca sources from the 
gnome-2-24 branch, which is being developed against GNOME 2.24.x.
