Re: [orca-list] Bottom panel, desktop

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

You can install gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-shell and then simply remove 
them when you're done. This worked for me, and I didn't have to have 
gnome-shell running in order to get gnome-tweak-tool to change the 
desktop option.

sudo pacman -S gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool
gnome-tweak-tool
Go to the second page from the bottom, I think it says "file manager," 
and toggle the only toggle button you'll find there. Now close the 
window and immediately
sudo pacman -R gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool
The next time you log in, the desktop will once again be in the panel 
list and you'll have all the icons you remember. There seems to be a bit 
of strange behavior from Orca, such as the fact that it always says 
unselected no matter what icon you have selected, but it definitely does 
work. Alt-control-D for some reason won't make all your windows 
disappear and put you on the desktop either, but the desktop will once 
again take its rightful place among your panels.
