Re: gnome-control-center accessible?

[Kenny Hitt <kennyhitt knology net>]

Hi.  I have no problem with gnome-control-center in icon view.  My
desktop also works with arrows or the tab key.  After the CVS updates on
05/19, my setup talks as well as Marc's does on his demos.

I am using the gnome 2.2 packages from Debian unstable.  Gnopernicus and
gnome-speech are built from CVS, everything else are Debian packages.
Maybe it is something to do with Redhat's distro?
