Actually, it turned out that I was just a few packages short of having Gnome
3.0+6 installed from testing, obviously the least accessible version of Gnome
for a long time for Orca users. AT-SPI 1 is still installed, not a good
combination.
My hope is that the latest AT-SPI 2, Orca and Gnome 3.2 will all arrive in
unstable very soon.
I can also try xfce if that's likely to work.
I don't need a working X environment very often on this laptop, but obviously
I would rather have one than not.
