With the terminal I don't have this problem it always speaks what is in
it. As far as with flat review I can't comment I don't use it much. I
will try on my system and check it out. With the power issue i have this
version of Sonar on my desktop so i never check the power of coarse.
With the system monitor i'm not sure why that happened. I can't say why
it did that to your system. I will have to do some testing and see what
happens. Thanks for all of your testing Dave. i will get back to you.

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.

Yes this is my experience also.

Hi, Jonathan!
I'm running the Sonar LXDE from a thumb drive, with orca, firefox, and
a terminal open. I have changed the orca rate setting, but nothing
else; it's good the way you have it. I notice that pressing 'alt+tab'
does switch apps, but there is no announcement, while the keys are
pressed, of what app will run when they are released. When I release
the keys, a line from the previous window is spoken then the new app
takes focus. Is this normal behavior for LXDE's accessibility?
Thanks,
Dave H.

Hello list,
I forgot to announce this a few weeks ago. I have finished the Sonar
version using LXDE. It turned out pretty well. I have the icons on the
desktop and Nautilus is the default file manager and it is easier to
connect to a wireless network now. You just have to press alt and
control and tab to get to the top panel and it looks like the gnome
panel.Also a quick note but this is also on the quick start guide. To
start the installer after you boot press alt and control and the
letter
I. This will start the installer. I also did only a 32 bit version but
it is using the pea kernel and it will notice all the RAM you have in
your computer.Here is a link to the sonar page and you can go to the
download page from there.
