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

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Yeah, that works fine to navigate around in the main body of the desktop 
but for some distros, there is a top and bottom panel.  On my Debian 
system, I can use the tab key to get me to the bottom panel but from 
what I can tell on my Debian box there is no top panel or Orca won't 
navigate to it with the tab key.  Am I missing something or does Debian 
not implement a top panel of the desktop?
