Thanks! Error messages definitely help. But...I think you got the sanity check you were seeking (i.e., "Does this stuff even work?" -- the answer is "YES!" :-)).
If I were to take a guess, lately all these odd crashes seem to point back to a gnome-panel crash. We're digging into that crash some more and have recently checked in a workaround in Orca to help prevent the crash from happening: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368626 Hope this helps, Will On Wed, 2006-11-01 at 16:36 +0100, Christian wrote: > Hello Will, > Unfortunatly I lost speech when I opened up the word processor and I have no > sighted assitance around.
