Ok, so the 'alt+tab' not speaking is a normal feature--very inconvenient 
when a few apps are open.  Here are a few more findings from before the 
entire thing crashed.


I have no flat review mode in either of the terminal apps-- keys pass 
right through.  Terminal output is not spoken, immediately, with any 
reliability.  The power state indicator is either missing from top panel 
or is not spoken.  Nothing in libreoffice calc is spoken; didn't try 
writer.  Nautilus seems as accessible as in GNOME, once orca manages to 
get some sort of focus; try using 'super+d'; you'll see what I mean. 
The text editors, leafpad and gedit, are as accessible as they would be 
under GNOME.  The media player, audacious, seems very accessible; codecs 
seem to be already in place; I was listening to an mp3 stream.  Firefox 
is as accessible as in GNOME.  Once I launched system monitor, I lost 
all speech.  I could not manually start orca from either the 'run' 
dialogue or a terminal.  When I tried to get speech from another 
console, nothing happened.
