Re: Compiz + A11y Discussion

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bryen:

I don't believe the problem is a conflict between Orca's keys and 
Compiz's keys. Instead, the the two different problems are that Compiz 
causes events to be delivered in a very strange order when switching 
between windows and that people have not been successful in using the 
keyboard to navigate to the top/bottom panels and the desktop.
