Are these little windows at the upper right of the display?  These tend
to be Ubuntu telling you that updates are available.  I've been trying
to figure out how to navigate to these from the keyboard and I can't get
to them.  :-(

Do you have more specifics about what applications are showing this
problem?  The SayAll functionality is unfortunately sensitive to how the
application supports the AT-SPI.  We will happily fix bugs in Orca and
file bugs in other apps to make this work, as long as we know where the
problem is happening.

Thanks!
