I didn't find this point in notes. Well no problem I can search. I'll try again with a fully new user.

I'll do this too. Are there in log (/var/apt)? I'm worry that it removed packages which were necessary for orca do read properly Gnome, which would explain my problems on the desktop and alt-F1. I didn't understand autoremove's approach of old packages. I would appreciate explanations anyway :)

You're great rather! I use speech-dispatcher as ibmtts doesn't support anymore gnome-speech, but I would love using still gnome-speech. I have 2 kinds of problems: if I use the old installer on a squeeze, it doesn't install properly (dpkg error, doesn't speak and is not seen by orca settings menu); if I use newer (0.32), it doesn't use gnome-speech and I can't force this. How did you associate ibmtts - sid - gnome-speech? It's exactly what I want to do if I can! I spent a night trying without success. Nethertheless, espeak, I really can't. :)

I would like too! :) If I can I will do but it seems gnome depends on it. Can I do with alsa even with gnome (sound system, ...)? With alsa, do you have still beeps from the speaker when, for instance, you do backspace on Run menu (alt-F2) whereas there're not anymore characters to delete. If yes, yes I'll keep alsa! You know, if I'm so careful in my ufqeade to squeeze, it's because I don't want to move things which work. So if I can keep gnome-speech and alsa without consequences in using daily gnome, it's great! Tell me how you do please.

Right, I need more apps on Gnome (firefox, but also OOo, and mail, ...).

That's why ibmtts told me "we don't support gnome-speech". But I'm very interested in your solutions. Really your help in these would be very nice and appreciated.
