orca shouldn't allow gibberish as input into its configuration settings. I have no idea what the results of most of my choices actually were.

I have the same python errors in the terminal, but never tried typing non-numbers. I could never get orca past language setup in Hardy (and received no errors in the terminal then). Now I can pretend to choose the language and it actually continues on but I guess I'm stuck with the British guy regardless of which language I choose : )

Stomme, try removing ~/.orca folder and try again. I have already patched this issue upstream.
