Hi, That was fast !  I tried the "spd-conf --test-festival" but got s command 
not found.  I did start festival in a terminal and then opened Jovie but 
cou;d not see festival anywhere in it;s configuration.

FYI, in my ~/.speech-dispatcher there is a festival.log file with one line     
ffestival_client: connect to server failed
