Hi Mike,

When you invoke python and call 'import speechd', does that work?  If 
yes, do you see any suspicious messages when you run Orca from terminal 
with debug level LEVEL_CONFIGURATION?

I've been just playing with SD on Ubuntu and I managed to hack the 
startup script to run the CVS version.  I'll add a short howto to the 
Orca wiki.

Best regards, Tomas
