>Description:
The preferences -> speech screen for orca-2.32.1_2 does not allow you to select a speech system. The underlying error is:

    ** (orca:44169): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
     
    ** (orca:44169): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
     
    ** (orca:44169): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowMoveResizeMask' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

    Speech not available.

On a probably related note, the ports for espeak and speech-dispatcher install OK but silently fail when you go to use the tools at the command line.

Pulseaudio and Portaudio are installed on this system.

I am currently writing the accessibility chapter for PC-BSD and have these 3 ports listed as temporarily broken. Dasher, gok, and mousetweaks work as expected under GNOME.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start orca from a terminal and click on Preferences. Click the Speech tab and check the Enable speech box. The speech system, speech synthensizer, and person drop-down menus remain greyed out and the above errors are posted within the terminal.
