 'ctrl+alt+t'.  I cannot switch among open apps, either by super-key
 shortcuts or 'alt+tab'.  In some cases, there is the error sound and
 the 'not responding' message regarding the metacity dialogue.  This
 happens whether I'm using Unity or Classic Gnome, and whether using
 the stock Orca 3.0.0 or the daily build.  I cannot be sure whether
 since the install was fresh; I did updates since installing, and
 before trying a metacity dialogue.

Could you possibly outline a procedure to reproduce this, as I'd like to try 
and produce this myself, and see about what needs fixing.

From my experience, the system hangs if your home directory or the 
directory where you last opened or saved a file contains a large number 
of files. This appears to be a GNOME problem that has existed for a 
rather long time, and doesn't appear to be limited to Ubuntu. I have 
noticed, however, that in GNOME3, I seem to have to kill Python the 
first time I open or save a file using the Metacity file chooser in 
order to get Orca talking again, which does seem to be a new problem. 
Nautilus also hangs on my home directory, but usually for only about 5 
seconds.
