[orca-list] gnome-do alternative: deskbar applet

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi all
For those looking for a program like GNOME-Do that works with Orca,  
have a look at the gnome deskbar applet. Install it and add it to your  
panel, its default shortcut key in Ubuntu once it's added is alt+f3  
though you can change it if you like. It works with tracker and other  
plugins to handle searching of files, email from Evolution (doesn't  
seem to support Thunderbird at least not with the default set of  
plugins), and other things and it's completely accessible with Orca.
For Ubuntu (and probably Debian as well) users, the packages you want  
are deskbar-applet and libdeskbar-tracker. Other systems most likely  
have it packaged, but the package names will likely be different,  
performing a search for "deskbar" should turn it up.
