Suggestion: Speakup desktop guide

[Alex Snow]

I'm still using windows (2000 mainly) for anything I need a gui for, 
though that is likely to change in the near future with the 
accessibility features in gnome becoming more and more usable...I am 
currently building gnome 2.17 to evaluate what's available...I would 
drop windows in a heartbeat when the unix GUI becomes accessible...
