Hi Anne:
As long as you have the KDE libraries loaded, there should be no problem 
running any kde app under gnome or vice-versa.

Don't know if Ubuntu has the accessability programs, but there used to be one 
called kmagnify under kde.  You could look for something there.  I'm using 
fedora and didn't load the accessability programs on my system.

HTH,
Tom
