I thought you might like to know that I have succeeded in getting Gnopernicus and Festival working with the Gnome Desktop version 2.1 today. It remains to be seen how useful it is, but at least it is talking and that's half the battle. The keymap for speakup seems to persist into the Gnome Desktop environment, and that is the biggest problem right now. Gnopernicus would also like to use the numeric keypad to navigate with, but speakup still owns it even when Gnome is running. I will be preparing a howto on the installation of all this stuff for Slackware users. Other howto's exist for Debian users.
