[orca-list] Understanding the gnome layout

[luke <speakup lists tacticus com>]

Hello

Does anyone have any materials written or recorded from a blind 
prospective, on understanding how things are laid out in gnome, at least 
with the default window manager in Ubuntu Intrepid, the name of which 
escapes me just now?

I.E. what panels are, the differences between "lock to panel" and "lock to 
desktop"; what is meant by workspaces, how many of them there really are, 
and why some times a menu or popup will appear in one and not another, 
when previously it appeared elsewhere; and so on.

Maybe this is all covered in standard gnome documentation which I just 
haven't looked at yet, but I thought that perhaps there was an 
orca-centric, or blind-centric version somewhere which might have more 
relevance.

Thanks for any thoughts, and apologies for the newbe question.

Luke
