gnopernicus not speaking

[Daniel Carrera]

I've had a lot of problems with Gnopernicus. It really isn't a good 
piece of software. It either magically works or it doesn't. The UI 
doesn't give you any trouble-shooting options and the documentation is 
next to use-less. All it does it show you a screenshot of Gnopernicus 
and talk about each button. I can do better than that by just browsing 
Gnopernicus! When your "documentation" could just as well be replaced by 
extended tooltips, you know that there's something seriously wrong with 
your documentation (and yes, I've been a teacher and a writer).

In any event, in my case what I have to do is kill festival from the 
command line and then start Gnopernicus again.

Best,
Daniel.
