Re: [orca-list] GNOME3 System Menu Work-around

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Can you offer a brief tip on how to do this? I've only added items to
the top panel in earlier versions of gnome by working with items found
in the menu already.  I'm not sure where/how to find the "main menu"
applet at this point.

thanks for additional help.
