Hi, Zandre,
No problem.  =)  Tenho muitos amigos brasileiros eu.  (I have many
Brazilian friends.)

Help me make sense of this, please.  From the looks of it, I am
turning off accessibility support with the first string, calling up
Synaptic, ending my work on Synaptic and then turning accessibility
back on after I am done.  How does this help with making Orca speak in
Synaptic?  I can see how it would prevent the crashes but, I also need
accessibility turned on in order to access the screen.

Thanks.
