Re: [orca-list] Debian Desktop - Top Panel?

[farhan <i am farhan gmail com>]

Hello, the default theeme should work, when using gnome on my ubuntu 
8.1..0 laptop i can hit alt f1 and go across the menu structure to 
system and places.
try turning off the advanced visual appearance settings in the 
appearance part of gnome set it to none, that works for me.
