See also Orca bug #462547 which is blocked by this issue. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462547 This is with the OOo-dev 2.3.0 Linux (RPM) build from 31st July 2007, on Ubuntu Gutsy (with all the latest updates), and with Orca from SVN HEAD. Steps to reproduce: 1/ Start Orca 2/ Start OOo-dev 2.3.0 simpress. The the first screen of the startup wizard will appear, with focus on the Next button. 3/ Press space. The second screen of the startup wizard will be displayed. If you have the patch from Orca bug #462256 applied, you will hear "Next button spoken too). 4/ Press space. Rather than going to the third screen, the Next button disappears and everything hangs. I did a separate test of all of this without Orca running, and simpress nicely displays the third screen.
Correction. It isn't the desktop that's hung. Just simpress.
Well I've upgrade to OOo-deb 2.3.0 (build #223), plus latest Ubuntu Gutsy packages (as of today), plus latest Orca plus deleted all my GNOME "dot" files, and the problem has gone away. Closing as WORKSFORME.
