I believe the Ubuntu folks failed to install a critical infrastructure piece: 
libatk-bridge.  I discovered this last week when playing with the Ubuntu-based 
GNOME 2.12 Live CD (see http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/korn/20050908 for 
details).

I've cc-ed Jeff Waugh who is deeply involved in all good and technical things 
in Ubuntu, and cares a good deal about accessibility too.  He may be able to 
help you (and perhaps also fix whatever is broken in Ubuntu, if he hasn't 
already done so from our conversation last week).
