Re: [orca-list] Bottom panel, desktop

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I wonder if there is a command line option that can be fed to nautilus
to open an actual desktop and not just the desktop folder on your
system? if so, then one could create a launcher and assign the same
key combination Ubuntu is apparently using for their's.  I ask this
because that option is not available on other distros but I'm
reasonabbly certain one could customize this arrangement on an
individual basis.  Definitely an interesting idea for sure.  I'm at
work now so can't look into this during the day unfortunately.  Sounds
like it might be more fun than the daily work stuff on this windows
machine.
