Hi,

I don't know if it is possible for you but you can open application by
pressing windows key and entering the name of application (it search the
list as you type so you may need to enter just a few first letters - and
you can use arrow keys then as well).
I believe there was some further work on accessibility on Gnome 3.4.

If you are referring to any other menu could you explain what you have
on mind?

Best regards

PS. There are Gnome shell extensions which allow to 'revert' the Gnome 2
look. I don't know how good work they are doing
PPS. A really minor point but one you might be interested in - the
configuration moved to dconf so changing anything in gconf will not have
any effect.
