I've discovered that the state of caps-lock is passing through to
running apps. It does act as the 'orca' modifier key, as well. What

I know this isn't an accessibility query per-se, but any suggestions of a
netbook on which Karmic or Lucid will run well are appreciated.

I am unable to use Ekiga with Orca. Once a connection is established,
there is a bit of sound, then nothing. When I try to hang up, Orca

Purging this has eliminated my problems with gdm logins.

I know this isn't strictly an accessibility thing, but I seem to have

system and attempt to login at the audible prompt, my system locks up on
most attempts. Why it works sometimes,

While running the new speech dispatcher from the Vinux Karmic

Hi,
Since upgrading to Ubuntu Karmic, I can no longer reply, retweet, or
