This is not really a bug, but a feature :-). Blinkies usually
work with speech at that rate. Everything below is a pain to work with.
I agree though that this should be somehow configurable in Gnopernicus, didn't
find such a setting yet.

What I observed today is that when I tried to launch nautilus,
it complained that the libgail-gnome module was not installed.
After checking, I saw that it was really not installed.
Well, unfortunately, I realized that I still had your hacked libatk1.0-1
packages, and did a cleanup. After that, strangely, nautilus
no longer complains about a missing libgail-gnome module.
I'm wondering now, should gnopernicus depend on libgail-gnome-module,
or is this just an ancient left-over?

I'm using gnopernicus 0.3.2 now (which is available
from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnopernicus/0.3/
as tarball. I'm not sure if 0.3.2 is that good, or
if only the setting of the accessibility gconf key was the reason,
but if you find time, maybe you could do a new upload of 0.3.2?
OTOH, if you want to get rid of gnopernicus, I *think* I *might*
be able to aadopt it now. At least the build of 0.3.2 with your debian/
dir went fine without any problems :)
