apps no longer accessible using gnome and orca

Hi.  I am using the gentoo distribution and its gnome overlay and for
the last period (maybe a month or two) I find that no apps are
accessible using the orca screen reader.  The apps actually run as
verified with eyeballs, but orca does not see them.  I am running the
latest accessibility framework from git as of about 4 days ago.
Apparently, orca is not receiving the window activate event and it was
suggested to me that it might be the window manager.  I am using
mutter 3.20.3, downgraded to 3.20.2, but no joy.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
