No Jude, it's worse than that.I have no keyboard control at all after emacs starts. Actually, it works OK while in gnome so I can use it that way for now. It relates to when -nw is used although I don't explicitly specify it when I run it from the console. So speakup isn't the issue here at all. Just amazes me that the GNU devs would close the emacs-23 branch and then release 23.4 some time later without the patch.
