It's always a bad sign when you start replying to your own email.

Mike (Pedersen) kindly pointed out that this change has the adverse
side-effect of not letting you know when text other than that generated
by typing, is inserted into a editable text area (applications such as
gedit and gnome-terminal).

Sorry about that. I've commented out this change for now and updated
Orca CVS HEAD (again).

I need to work out how to determine whether the last
"object:text-changed:insert" event  was the result of a key press event.

Al,

I've just checked a small change into Orca CVS HEAD so that if you have
"echo by character" and "echo by word" both set to False, then keys
will not be echoed when you type them in in gedit or gnome-terminal.

Having said that, the key echo revamp is an on-going process. There is
still a lot of other changes that need to be made. For example, hitting
Backspace and Delete won't do the right thing at the moment. I'm doing
these changes in small steps. Hopefully Backspace/Delete echoing will
improve early next week.

No. This still needs to be fixed too. It will be a change to the
onTextInserted() method in default.py. I might even get to it today.
