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

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Yes, thanks for the update.  I guess I had figured, like others, that
gnpome-shell was an integral part of gnome 3 and therefore would be
basically ready for prime time and since my distro rolled out gnome 3
as "production ready," then no time like the present to put it to
use.  I have no intentions of changing distros just so I can keep
using gnome 2.32 so why the implied urgency of getting the a11y
support to work properly in gnome 3.  

I may experiment with gnome-shell from time to time in the future so I
can attempt to create some constructive bug reports; at least I can
put gnome-shell up temperarially and then uninstall it quickly enough
to get back to a working machine without much trouble.  It was just
that yesterday, my experience with gnome-shell was so bad that I
couldn't have even created a decent bug report to be of much help.  At
this point, I couldn't even figure out how to navigate around in it,
to even know how to use it.
I'll look at this bug report and camp on it for future follow-up and
notification.
