Re: [orca-list] Orca and XFCE

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi,

It is my understanding that Unity is basically a replacement for the
Gnome shell. It uses all the same apps, libraries, etc as Gnome but
Unity replaces the Gnome 2 shell, panels, etc  with a 3d shell
environment. Correct me if I'm wrong. To be honest I haven't explored
the diferences between Unity and Gnome on the technical side, but I do
know that Unity is based on Gnome but the user interface is quite
different.

Cheers!
