It is ubuntu-specific in that ubuntu caused it, but there may have been an 
orca based solution to this, or orca related knowledge that might have 
contributed to the solution.

It was cross-posted to ubuntu-accessibility, as was Krishnakant's reply.

No, really, ya think?  I was not expecting to be in this situation.  My 
previous installation of Intrepid had been previously hozed, and not 
expecting to come up on this job with this rapidity, I had not yet figured 
out a solution.
(Gnome was most highly damaged after an attempted upgrade to Jaunty, which 
I only attempted after an upgrade to Jaunty on another machine worked 
beautifully.)

If there is a lesson here, it is: solve all of your problems immediately, 
rather than waiting to have time.
