hi pete,
 I hope I have the gnome speech installed, or otherwise it will be hunting 
for a thousand other dependencies. do versions numbers matter? can I just 
pick the latest and it will work? If I have gnome speech installed, how do I 
get it to start working? how do I load the driver. is test speech another 
program that comes with gnome speech?
