Re: no speech out of gnopernicus except welcome

[John covici <covici ccs covici com>]

I have the festival server running -- starts at boot time and I hear
the welcome message in festival.  I did delete the .gconf from the
home directory, but it didn't change anything.

I guess we need to make sure that gnopernicus wants to talk to
festival in its configuration files.  HOw do I do that from a text
console?
