Re: [orca-list] Gnome-Shell Distaster!!!

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Sorry for replying to myself here but I held back the lava so to
speak.  I uninstalled gnome-shell from my system and got back to
at least, what I was using before the disaster.  Does this mean that
Orca is not ready for gnome-shell yet? Is gnome-shell still completely
broken as far as a11y is concerned?  I'm doing all this with Orca
3.01; I will be building orca-git from the 3.0 branch today to see if
that is any better but I figured that right now that production
Orca-3.01 would be fairly close to the git version, right?

One interesting thing through all this was the hardware keys on my
laptop which will launch Calculator, Girefox and Thunderbird seem to
work unaffected by these shell changes.  So even with gnome-shell
completely broken as it is right now, I was able to launch firefox
<smile>.
