Have you tested whether Speech-Dispatcher is working (e.g., with the Spd-say command)?
Is at-spi running? Look for at-spi2-registryd with prep?
You should also check whether Orca is running.
These investigations should narrow down the problem. There’s nothing in the error messages you posted to suggest to me they are more than warnings or that they are Orca-related.
