I have just tested this Bill, and I am affraid, that at least with GNOME 2.6.2
on Slackware 10, Mozilla *WILL NOT* speak unless GTK_MODULES is set.

IIRC, I remember reading some documentation about GTK accessibility, and this
environment variable being mentioned as a requirement for all stand-alone GTK
applications to be made accessible.

Here is the URL to the documentation I am referring to.

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/guide/gad

It can be found in the section "How Accessibility works in GNOME"
