I don't quite understand why this might happen occasionally. I remember 
it was not working for me in the past but currently it works all the time.

BTW you may try using alt+ctrl+escape to access the upper pannel at 
least. I think this has always been working for me.

I am not quite sure but synaptic package manager is one of the 
administrative tools. There's a page explaining how to run such 
applications here: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SysAdmin
There may be notes that some parts are still inaccessible if I remember 
correctly.

I think this is anyway the most convenient method for many blindies even 
with increasing number of gui applications accessible.
