Chris - which Braille display are you using?  I don't think BAUM owns all of 
the displays they support (especially since the BrlTTY work).  Also, what 
are the Braille command settings in the Preferences->Braille 
Preferences->Braille Key Mapping dialog (the Braille Keys tab)?  Gnopernicus 
version 0.71 defines these Braille keys as "DKxx".  You can map these to 
whatever Gnopernicus command you want.  See if that fixes things for you.

Both Rich and Chris - the presentation output changes you want to make can 
be found in the Preferences->Presentation dialog.  This is currently a very 
difficult dialog to use, and as a result of feedback from folks Sun brought 
into our Usability Labs BAUM is in the middle of redesigning these dialogs. 
 For now, you need to arrow down through the table to find the line 
containing the combination of [output device, role, event] and modify the 
presentation string (in the "chunk" column) to make the output be what you 
want.  Note also that in addition to the dialog changes that are in process, 
BAUM is changing the syntax of the output "chunk", moving to XML.  Finally, 
while these strings are stored in gconf for now, they will be moving to 
their own XML file which gets read at startup time.


So, the basic answer is that you can change things now, and hopefully soon 
(before GNOME 2.6.0) it will be much easier to change them!
