re: [gnopernicus on debian etch]

control-alt-f1 that gets you into a gnome terminal after you log in.  You 
can tell if you're in a gnome terminal by hitting backspace a few times. 
If the speaker beeps you're in a gnome terminal.  Then type gnopernicus 
and hit enter.  If all works well in a few seconds you'll hear gnopernicus 
talking maybe very softly, so turn up the volume on the speakers you got 
attached to the sound card.  After that answer all questions andhit 
control-alt-f7 and then control-alt-backspace.  Then go into applications 
and preferences and turn on assistive technology support and blind 
accessibility permanently. For logging in, key in the root and hit tab and 
key in password when all is quiet and then hit enter after password.  You 
should hear the gnome and/or X sound theme come up on the sound card 
speakers if you did everything correctly.

I did notice that gnopernicus doesn't start from the command line, however while googling I discovered that you can do this with orca in ubuntu which has multiple simularities with debian. Is that just a ubuntu spacific script though? Furthermore, how do you enable accessibility support in gnome without having to sircomnavigate inaccessible menus? Or should I still follow nath's advise when it comes to setting all the environment variables and other settings for gnome. Any help would be appreciated and thanks for all the help given thus far.
