what I'm mainly seeing is this. it doesn't announce the name of the
program that's starting, and take mozilla again for example, when I take
it to a webpage such as www.debian.org, or www.dmwaters.us, it does not
read the page, it acts like the page is blank.

it does the same with the gnome terminal, I haven't tried it in editors,
and I'm unsure of wether I should try conciddering what I'm seeing so
far.  I understand that it's still experimental, but from what I've
heard so far it's supposed to be decently useable.
