State of accessibility in linux

[Marcel Oats]

Hi, thanks for that, I'll check this out.  Interestingly, Ubuntu, 
which is what we are playing with at present, now has Gnopernicus 
available as part of their "assistive technology".  Pity they didn't 
consider Orca instead, though since it's only available in source, it 
could pose problems anyways for updating.

Thanks
Marcel
