It would be nice not to have to use root to start brltty. I filed an 
Ubuntu bug about it a few days ago, but it seems there are security 
issues about dreading from the console. Though this may not be valid, 
certainly of the text is piped via a layer like gnome-speech or speech 
dispatcher.

I think we'll spec this up to get a proper solution for Edgy+1
