Once you have installed DECTalk (libraries go into /usr/lib), you must 
modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/lib, and then 
recompile/reinstall gnome-speech.  gnome-speech only generates drivers for 
those TTS engines it can find at compile time.

Once you've done all that, verify that DECtalk is seen by gnome-speech by 
running `test-speech`.  If all that works, you should see it just fine in 
Gnopernicus.
