Was that by turning on the accessibility key in gconf-editor (or more likely
with gconftool-2) and restarting GNOME?

The text-to-speech stuff worked well for me, but the braille display (the
cheat sheet for sight-bound people like me) didn't seem to work. I was
chatting to Bill as I was testing, he seemed to think it was a problem with
those releases.

Perhaps that is it? I'm sure there will be new releases of all these modules
for 2.3.2, which is due next week, and there will certainly be a GARNOME
release to go with it.

When you get everything up and running (or at least testable), there are a
heck of a lot of people who are interested in hearing your feedback. Please
keep us in the loop! :-)

Thanks,
