Probono,
I can't get this klik to run. Can you check it out? It's in the Ham Radio section...

Thanks!

festival_client: connect to server failed
SayText: Couldn't open socket to Festival
Could not read Language file: /home/linux/.xastir/config/language.sys!
Error in language file! Exiting...

Looks to me as if it requres a running festival server. This is easy:
get it with klik://festival and then then launch festival as a server with

~/.zAppRun ~/Desktop/festival*.cmg festival --server

Besides, it seems to look for a configuration file in ~/.xastir/config/language.sys - and here comes the catch: xastir seems to replace this file at every run with a symlink (and due to klik's relocate-patch, this fails). So you have to do manually:

# unpack cmg
/sbin/fsck.cramfs -x ~/Desktop/xastir ~/Desktop/xastir*.cmg

# create directory
mkdir -p ~/.xastir/config/share/xastir/config

# copy language files
cp ~/Desktop/xastir/usr/share/xastir/config/language-* ~/.xastir/config/share/xastir/config

# delete unpacked AppDir
rm -rf ~/Desktop/xastir/

Now it runs.

Greetings,
probono

P.S.: I found out that Festival is not neccessary if you do not need sound output.
