Re: [orca-list] Orca and FXCE Accessibility

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi,

Agreed. I'm truthfully not satisfied with Gnome 3 at all right now,
and I'd be interested in what you find out about XFCE accessibility.
Right now I'm using Unity, and its ok, but it needs some accessibility
improvements before I'd call it a good alternative to Gnome. I'm
currently hunting for something else other than Gnome as Gnome 3 just
doesn't do it for me. Apparently it doesn't apeal to Linus either as I
find it interesting he has switched from Gnome 3 and KDE 4 to XFCE.

Cheers!
