I have looked very very briefly at a gtk-based html editor called
Bluefish, that looks quite ok. There's also another tool called Screem
or something like that that also looks quite good. How much of those
editors that actually are accessible, i don't know but they're always
worth a try.

Hi,
I am trying to build Evolution from Subversion but am encountering

Configuring works and i get the message to type "make" to compile Evo,

You can also use the flat review keys to locate the text box with the

hi Lorenzo, i agree with you wholeheartedly and not only for the reasons
you give below which are good but for the fact that if you build web

Hi,
Try the following:
Log into Gnome as a user, not as root.
Open the "run application" dialog by hitting alt+f2
Now, type the script name including path, ie
/usr/local/lib/firefox-3.0a/firefox
that should hopefully do the trick.

Hi there.
Petra, is Orca working in Gnome? that is, does the speech work in the
graphical interface but not braille?
Assuming it is, you do the following:
Make sure the focus is on the desktop or in some other application. When
it is, press numeric insert plus the space bar. A dialog pops up saying
