Perhaps when X evolves enough that we aren't limited to it on one
console. Or, perhaps also when the at stack becomes much more robust.
Right now, while the gui has been usable (for about a year), it's prone
to something--God only knows what, because when my speech dies I have no
notion of any error, etc--I simply lose the whole environment. Usually,
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace lets me start over, but that doesn't encourage one to
replace 24 consoles with terminal tabs. Not infrequently,
ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work, and I'm trying telinit 3 followed by
telinit 5. Too frequently, even this doesn't work and I have to reboot
if I want a stable gui--which discourages me from relying on it for real
work.

BTW: Not all my consoles are simple terminal screens. I run 9 mutt
instances in 9 screen terminals on Ctrl+Alt+F1, for instance. My inbox
is in Ctrl-A1, Fedora mail in Ctrl-a5, my standards related work in
Ctrl-a9, etc. Meanwhile, evolution and thunderbird are only marginally
usable from the screen reader perspective, and not with the same
alacrity that serves me in mutt. Heck, I can still cite specific web
pages where lynx does better than firefox3 from my a11y perspective.
Thankfully, there are plenty examples the other way around, too.
